Homemade Peach Cobbler Recipe made with fresh peaches is the perfect peach dessert. Who doesn’t love a southern cobbler? Want to make it even better: add fresh pears!
How to Peel Fresh Peaches
The easiest way I have found to peel peaches is to drop them in boiling water for 60 seconds. Then transfer the peaches to an ice bath. The skin will peel right off.
Top Tip
We love the sweet dumpling topping. I want some with every bite. If you feel like the recipe makes too much dough cut back to your preference.
Don’t forget the ice cream! Nothing like a warm peach cobbler with fresh peaches and vanilla ice cream.
