Peach Delight Cobbler:
…
I recently ran a recipe from one of my auction friends and a small cookbook she had created a few years back. Genelle and her husband sit in front of me at a local auction I attend almost every weekend, and we’ve all become good friends and often go out for ice cream after the auction.
Genelle surprised me recently when she revealed that she had created this cookbook of some of her favorite recipes and had sold copies of the book in a small antiques and collectibles shop that she ran here in town for many years. As I mentioned before, you just never know about your friends do you?
I was honored that she gave me one of the few remaining copies of her book and I quickly set out to try some of her recipes. The recent post and recipe for Blueberry Bread was the first one I tried and it turned out great in my humble opinion. As I mentioned then, another auction friend that typically sits behind me, brought me a large bag of fresh Blueberries that she picked from plants at her home. It just seemed to work out that I should try the Blueberry Bread first.
Another recipe that caught my attention was called Apple Delight and I hope to give that one a try before long as fall moves in and area apples become available. I’ll still have to wait a few weeks on that one though.
Peaches are in full season at the moment. I was fortunate enough to be able to pick up some peaches a week or so back from Pee Dee Orchards down on Hwy. 74 East in Lilesville, North Carolina. So, with peaches instead of apples, I adapted Genelles recipe and came up with this Peach Delight Cobbler. I loved it and hope you will too. It’s not one of those cobblers where the flour rises up in the dish as it cooks to create the cake part of the cobbler, it’s more like a thick crumb topping on top of fresh sliced peaches. It’s certainly worth giving a try and doesn’t require but just a few simple ingredients.
Ready for some warm Peach Delight Cobbler, maybe with some Ice Cream on top? Alright then… Let’s Get Cooking!
…
Peach Delight Cobbler Recipe: You’ll need these ingredients.
…
We’ll make the topping first. Start by placing the Flour in a medium size mixing bowl.
…
Add the loosely packed Brown Sugar. Brown Sugar is typically pressed into a measuring cup to be sure you have the full amount needed as measured, but it’s not necessary with this recipe, just lightly fill the measuring cup and you’ll be good to go.
…
Margarine should be about room temperature. Just slice it up right on its wrapper.
…
Then, toss it in on top of the Brown Sugar.
…
Use a fork and work the ingredients together until it’s crumbly. This will take a minute or two to accomplish but keep mashing and spreading it until it looks a bit like this. Larger lumps of remaining butter will not present a problem.
…
Peel and slice up the Peaches, then add them into your baking dish. I’m using a 2 quart round dish but something similar will do. I prefer the deeper dish because I know it’s going to bubble up a good bit and I don’t want it making a big mess inside the oven when it does.
…
Sprinkle the Granulated Sugar over the Peaches.
…
Add a dash of Salt.
…
Sprinkle on the Ground Cinnamon.
…
Grab a large spoon and gently toss the peaches around to mix it all together.
…
Add the topping mixture.
…
Continue adding the topping until you’ve got the Peaches covered.
…
This part is optional: If you have them handy, add some sugar Sprinkles. I just happen to have this container from Wilton and like adding it to my baked desserts. If you don’t have any around, no problem.
…
OK… I might have got a little heavy handed with the Sprinkles. Anyway, here is our Peach Delight Cobbler all ready for the oven.
…
Place the cobbler on the middle rack of your oven and let it bake at 350º for about 30 to 40 minutes or until done. Ovens vary so be sure to watch it closely and don’t let the top burn.
As the top browns sufficiently, insert a wooden toothpick into the topping portion of the cobbler. If the toothpick comes out clean, without any crumbs, the cobbler is done and should be removed from the oven. If you pull the toothpick out, and it has some crumbs attached, let the cobbler bake for a few minutes longer.
…
Remove the Peach Delight Cobbler from the oven and sit on a wire rack or folded towel on your counter top to let it cool.
…
It gets really hot so allow time for it to cool a bit before digging in.
…
Serve it warm and Enjoy!

Hi Steve, I have been following you for several years. My name is Karen and I live in Raleigh. Moved here as a newlywed years ago and never wanted to leave the South.
Just want to thank you for sharing your life with us. We love your recipes and I have tried most of them. My husband’s favorite is Southern Banana Pudding. Going to get some local peaches tomorrow.
Please know I look forward to your newsletters. You are a very special person and I appreciate you. Prayers and good wishes for you sick friend.
A short question about freezing peaches. Do you just clean, wash and slice them and add some sugar? I am planning to vacuum pack them. Or, is there anything else you do? Thank you for being you. 🙂
Karen
Hi Karen,
Or, should I just say “Hi Neighbor?” Raleigh is pretty close by.
I’m happy to hear you’ve tried some of our recipes and really glad that you liked them. Thank You. I tried to email you direct but it bounced back for some reason.
As for the peaches, I drop them whole into some boiling water for about 60 seconds, then plunge them into some ice water to cool them down quickly. After that, the skins should just slip right off without any problem if the peaches were ripe. Then, I slice them, sprinkle them with sugar, vacuum seal them and freeze them. Fairly simple.
You had asked in another comment if there were any orchards around our area. From what I understand, peaches just don’t grow well from our area over to the coast. I guess it’s the Sandhill soil. Smile. There are a good number of peach orchards over around the Candor, West End area. You can do a quick internet search for them.
Pee Dee Farms is a place I’ve been visiting for the past several years. They are in Lilesville, which is a bit far, but they have good peaches. They also have a booth each year at the North Carolina State Farmers Market. You’ll find them in the end of the shelter nearest the entrance and the Farmers Market Restaurant.
Thank you for your questions, and for your visits. I do hope you’ll stop by again… real soon. Be Blessed!!! -Steve
I have joined a good co-op and we are getting a lot of fresh fruit. I’ve made strawberry jam blueberry jam and peach jam. I made some jam I call NapJam as it has nectarines apricots and peaches. Very tasty. I’ve frozen blueberries and strawberries and pineapple and grapes. Have given extras to our local food bank. I’ve had a busy time.
Hi Karen, You have indeed been busy. Congratulations on all your efforts. Bless you for sharing of your bounty as well. Thank you for sharing your comments, and thank you for your visits. I trust you’ll stop by again… real soon. Be Blessed!!! -Steve
Best peach cobbler ever!!!!!
Came out great easy to make. Someone commented cobbler was runny…
if using can peaches…try pouring the juice off the peaches, do not pour juice in your cobbler. The cobbler will make its own juice.
Again thanks!!!!!!
I hate to tell you this but this was the worst peach cobbler I have ever made. I followed your recipe to the letter and it was just awful! It was runny beyond belief. Never again!
Fresh Peaches are in (Illinois; so I am anxious to try your peach cobbler recipe. Is any corn starch required since fresh fruit makes my pies quite juicy? Also, my blackberries are ready to pick also> I pick daily. Can your recipe be used for blackberry cobbler? Again, they make a lot of juice when I make pies.
HF
Hi Helen, You could add a little cornstarch, or a little flour to your berries, but I wouldn’t add much. I recently read an article about adding a grated apple to berry pies, but haven’t had the chance to try it out. Basically you finely grate an apple, squeeze out any juice, then add the grated apple to your berries. Mix everything for your recipe and bake. The apple works like pectin ( pectin is made from apple anyway ) to cause the filling to “set.” Sounds pretty smart. You also need to let your pie set overnight if at all possible before cutting it. This should help resolve some of that super juicy problem you mention. I hope this helps. Run an internet search for the apple to find more info about it. Please let me know if you try it and how it turns out. I hope to do a blackberry cobbler recipe soon, so watch for it. I appreciate your visits and hope you’ll stop by often. Be Blessed!!! -Steve
Hi Steve,
I haven’t tried this recipe yet, but intend to do so this weekend. I don’t have fresh peaches, so how would I substitute canned peaches I. This recipe?
Hi Patsy, I’ve not tried this with canned peaches. I would simply suggest though, that you drain off any of the liquid from the canned peaches before using them. It should turn out well that way. I do hope you’ll try our Peach Delight Cobbler, and look forward to hearing your results. Thank you for the question, and thank you for stopping by for a visit. I hope you’ll visit often. Be Blessed!!! -Steve
Thanks for the easy to print option!! Almost no web pages do that!
Of course, thanks for the easy to follow recipes.

Hello Steve
I will definetely try this peach cobbler. It looks so appetizing.
Peaches are not so abundant in our eastern North Carolina area but we bought some at our small Farmers market.
Keepup the good work!
I am looking forward to trying this peach cobbler recipe. You mentioned getting those fresh peaches from the Pee Dee Orchard in 74 East in Lilesville, North Carolina. My grandparents lived in Lilesville and I have stopped at the Pee Dee Orchard many times and took home baskets of peaches. They were the best peaches I have ever had. I live in Maryland and I will try this recipe soon. I recently found your website and I am enjoying it.
I tried the peach cobbler…excellent! And so easy! I really want to try the Cheerwine Cherry Cobbler too, but living in Houston, Tx I’ve only located a very few stores online that carry Cheerwine, none of which are close to my home. Hopefully soon there will be an excuse for me to go to that part of the city.
Hi Jennifer, Thank you for trying our Peach Delight Cobbler. I’m always happy to hear that the recipe turns out well when someone tries it. I do hope you’ll get a chance real soon to make the Cheerwine Cherry Cobbler. I know you can order the soft drink directly from the Cheerwine company website, so you might want to check that out. They are constantly expanding their territory and hopefully you’ll have it in a hometown store before too long. It wouldn’t hurt to ask your local grocer if he would carry it for you. I’m sure they would be interested to learn that it’s a product you would like to have. Good luck with it and do stop by for another visit with us… real soon. Be Blessed!!! -Steve
Steve, The peach cobbler looks heavenly..I’m making the Salisbury steak recipe tonight. Trying the cobbler this weekend. So glad I found this site. Thanks for the recipes. Linda
Hi Linda, I really think you’ll like both recipes. I’ll be looking forward to hearing how they turn out for you. Thank you for your comments and I’m thankful you found Taste of Southern. Do visit with us again… real soon. Be Blessed!!! -Steve
Steve, I never buy margarine anymore. Is there a problem with using butter instead of the margarine? Thanks and I really enjoy your recipes. I am originally from Louisiana and the recipes bring back such fond memories of my childhood. Thanks again, Kathy
Hi Kathy, Butter will not be a problem in the recipe. I wanted to stay as true as possible to the recipe from Gennelle and purchased a pack of margarine just for the recipe. It’s the first pack I’ve bought in I don’t know when. Of course, it IS much cheaper than butter. I’m thankful you have found our website and I sincerely appreciate your comments. I do hope you’ll give the recipe a try and that you will visit with us again… real soon. Be Blessed!!! -Steve
