Farm Fresh Peach Cobbler Treat

A bubbling golden peach cobbler is the promise of summer in every bite and one of the easiest desserts I know. The recipe uses farm fresh peaches or your favorite canned variety and comes together with the help of Bisquick for a fuss free crust. My family devours this warm out of the oven usually topped with a cold scoop of vanilla ice cream.

I made this after picking up too many peaches at a roadside stand and now it is a tradition at our summer picnics. Even my busiest weeknights feel special with this on the table.

Ingredients

• Fresh sliced peaches: choose fruit that is fragrant and slightly soft for best flavor or use canned for convenience
• Bisquick All Purpose Mix: gives a fluffy golden rise that takes out the guesswork from homemade dough
• Milk: moistens and binds the crust ensuring it is tender not dry
• Nutmeg: a little goes a long way toward giving the cobbler warmth and depth
• Cinnamon: brings spicy sweetness and rounds out the peach flavor
• Butter: melted butter ensures the crust bakes rich and golden
• Sugar: sweetens the peaches and the batter choose granulated for a classic result and adjust for fruit sweetness

Step-by-Step Instructions

Mix the Batter:

In an eight inch square baking dish combine the Bisquick mix milk nutmeg and cinnamon. Whisk or stir well to create a smooth batter. Blend in the melted butter so every bite of crust will be rich and tender. Do not skimp on this mixing time since a well blended batter creates an even rise and prevents dry spots.

Prepare the Peaches:

In a medium mixing bowl toss together the peaches and sugar. If your peaches are super ripe or canned in syrup taste a piece before adding all the sugar. Adjust to your liking. Mixing ensures the fruit is coated and will bubble up perfectly as the cobbler bakes.

Assemble the Cobbler:

Spoon the peach and sugar mixture evenly over the batter in your baking dish. Do not stir them in. Let the batter stay underneath for that classic bubbly crust. The peaches will sink slightly and release their juices as the dessert bakes.

Bake Until Golden:

Place your dish in a preheated three hundred seventy five degree oven. Bake for about one hour. Your cobbler is done when the top is a deep golden brown and bubbling at the edges. Let cool for ten minutes before serving so the fruit syrup thickens a bit.

The fresh peaches remind me of the giant box my grandmother would buy every August summer was never complete without a hot cobbler in her kitchen and I think of her with every batch I stir together.

Storage Tips

Store any leftover cobbler covered in the refrigerator. It will keep well for up to three days and tastes great either cold or reheated. If you want that just baked texture I recommend loosely covering with foil and warming it in a low oven.

Ingredient Substitutions

You can swap all purpose flour with a pinch of baking powder and salt if you do not have Bisquick on hand. Try canned nectarines or pears in place of peaches for a different twist. Vegan butter and non dairy milk work if you need a dairy free option.

Serving Suggestions

Serve your cobbler warm topped with vanilla ice cream or lightly sweetened whipped cream for classic comfort. For a little extra flavor try sprinkling with chopped toasted pecans just before serving. This dessert even shines cold the next day for breakfast.

Cultural Context

Peach cobbler is a Southern classic with deep roots in American cooking and a symbol of hospitality. The mixture of biscuit crust and sweet fruit filling is all about easy comfort food that celebrates the harvest and stretches to feed a crowd.
