Old Fashioned Fresh Peach Cobbler Recipe

There is nothing like the delicious taste of an old-fashioned peach cobbler with whipped cream, and it’s so incredibly easy to make.  Every year around this time I usually break out this recipe.  Stone fruit, which is any fruit with pits, is beginning to come into season and are perfect for cobblers.

Fresh peaches are always a huge hit in this house and my daughter simply goes to town on them whenever they pop into the season so when making this peach cobbler I had to ensure I had extra so that she could eat them.  If this is your first time making cobbler, well you’re in for a real treat because it’s super easy to make!

How to Prepare Fresh Peaches for Cobbler

I’m pretty sure that you’ve been eating cobbler that features peaches out of a can, which is totally fine, however, it can’t even hold a candle to the taste fresh peaches can provide.  I am very much a seasonal cooker so when fresh produce is in, I’m all over it.  It’s really easy to avoid peach cobbler in the winter because simply put, you can’t find any peaches.  I don’t even want to think about the winter months because I’ve had enough of it, so let’s get back to cooking down fresh peaches.

Peel the peaches using a peeler or paring knife, then remove the pit, slice’em up and add them to a saucepan.  Please be careful when removing the pit because the peaches may not be all the way ripe and you may be using some force with that knife to carve out the pits so just be mindful not to push too hard.  Squeeze in some fresh lemon juice to the peaches to help them keep color, but also to add a little clean acid to them, which always adds a bit more flavor.  Next, we add in some water, vanilla, and sugar and cook over medium heat until they are cooked down.  The liquid will become like syrup and loaded with flavor, similar to the syrup canned peaches come in, however, we won’t really be using it in the cobbler.  Once the peaches are soft simply set them to the side.

How to Make It

One-to-one-to-one, easy as that.  Same exact measurements by volume for the flour, the milk, and the sugar.  The batter does not get any easier than this, that is why you have to make this peach cobbler recipe.  Now to help fluff up the batter a little bit, I did add some baking powder and salt which will help the flour act like a self-rising flour.

Add the cooked down fresh peaches along with some melted butter and fresh blueberries to a skillet and top off with the batter, sprinkle on some Almond Flour and bake away!

A Trick to Help Your Peach Cobbler Batter Rise

So, you know when your making pancakes and you whisk it super hard to ensure there are no chunks in it?  Yeah, that’s bad.  The little chunks are little pockets of flour and when cooked help to elevate the batter when cooking it.  I can pretty much guarantee if you whisk the heck out of your batter so that it’s lump-free it’s not going to rise very much.  This is just a little advice whenever you’re making a batter that needs to elevate a little bit.

How to Make Homemade Whipped Cream

There are a few ways to make whipped cream and since I had a little time while the peach cobbler was in the oven I figured I’d whip some up.  I used one of those canisters that have CO2 cartridges and they are super easy to use.  However, if you don’t have one of these little nifty things you can simply whip some heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla by hand or in a stand mixer using the whisk attachment on high speed until stiff peaks have formed.

Once the fresh peach cobbler is done cooking add on some ice cream, any remaining cooked down fresh peaches, fresh blueberries, whipped cream, mint, and a little more almond flour and then it’s time to go to town on this.
