Old-Fashioned Peach Cobbler Recipe – A quick and easy to prepare cobbler with a light sweetened buttery cake topping!

This dessert reminds me of my childhood for sure.  I remember this one more than any other dessert.  I even remember the baking dish my mom always made this in, and I bet she still has it 🙂  It’s not surprising that this Old-Fashioned Peach Cobbler was one of the first desserts I started making once I lived on my own.

We always had this with Cool Whip when I was a child.  When I met my husband, he opened up the world of “a la mode” to me.  We started topping it with vanilla ice cream, and I haven’t looked back!  Speaking of vanilla ice cream, did you see this recipe the other day?

You can make this dessert in less than 10 minutes too.  I use canned peaches that are already sugared up because y’all know I’m all about easy in life.  Yes, you can totally sweeten up fresh peaches, and I’ll include that in the recipe below.  

Can I use fresh peaches in this dessert?

• Yes!  Mix 3 cups of fresh sliced peaches with a 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1/4 cup water. Allow them to sit for about 15 to 20 minutes.
• This is a basic cobbler recipe, and you can use it with other fruits too!
• Want a homemade ice cream to serve with this?  This is our favorite recipe!
• Want a slow cooker cobbler dessert?  This one is so good!
