Fresh Peach Cobbler
16 steps
Prep:20minCook:1h
Fresh Peaches – This peach cobbler is made with FRESH peaches for a much more true peach flavor. I prefer to use slightly firm peaches as they bake into the most delicious tender slices that still have a toothsome consistency. AKA they’re not too mushy and not too firm.
Toasted Pecans – To balance out the sweet and slightly tart peaches, warm and toasted pecans are added to the mix. The added crunch helps break up the monotony of tender peaches and fluffy cobbler topping while also rounding out the flavor of this cobbler.
Brown Sugar – This cobbler is sweetened with brown sugar in both the peaches AND the cobbler topping. The slight molasses flavor pairs perfectly with the fresh peaches.
Sugar Crust – The cobbler is brushed with cream and topped with raw sugar before baking. This creates a glossy and crisp crust on top of the cobbler, adding another yummy texture to this cobbler recipe.
Ease – The entire recipe is so easy to make! Everything is mixed by hand (truly, I used my hands as the main mixing tool for this fresh peach cobbler), and it only takes about 30 minutes to bake.

Instructions
Peaches
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350F and scatter the pecans on a baking pan.
Step 2
Bake for 8-10 minutes until toasted and fragrant. Then adjust the oven temperature to 375F.
Step 3
Add the sliced peaches, vanilla, lemon juice, brown sugar, cinnamon, and cornstarch to a 10″-12″ cast iron skillet and toss (with your hands) to combine.
Step 4
Roughly chop the toasted pecans and add to the peaches. Toss to evenly distribute.
Step 5
Bake the peaches for 10 minutes. In the meantime, make the cobbler topping.
Cobbler Topping
Step 6
I mixed the cobbler dough by hand, but this can also be done in a food processor.
Step 7
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and brown sugar.
Step 8
Add the chilled and cubed butter and toss to coat the cubes in the flour mixture.
Step 9
Then work the butter into the mixture by smooshing the chunks of butter between your fingers and rubbing it into the flour. Continue this process until the butter is fully worked in and barely any chunks remain. *This can also be done by pulsing in a food processor.
Step 10
Pour in 1/2 cup of heavy cream and stir to combine. The dough should be thick but sticky – kind of like sugar cookie dough.
Step 11
By now, the peaches should be out of the oven.
Step 12
Grab chunks of the cobbler dough and roughly flatten with your hands (this doesn’t have to be perfect). Place the cobbler dough on top of the warm peaches.
Step 13
Brush with the remaining 3 tbsp of heavy cream and sprinkle with raw sugar (or more brown sugar if you don’t have raw sugar).
Step 14
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are thick and bubbling and the cobbler topping is a light golden brown.
Step 15
Allow the cobbler to cool for about 20-30 minutes, then scoop and serve with ice cream. Enjoy!
