Peach Season Is The BEST!
I love peach season, and I love a good cobbler, so this one just hits every time. The peaches get soft and syrupy as they bake, the topping turns golden around the edges, and that little bit of almond extract gives it something extra without taking over.
It’s easy enough to throw together on a random night, but also one of those desserts you bring to a cookout or Sunday dinner and know it’s going to be a hit. Simple, classic, and exactly what you want when peaches are at their best.

Nutrition
No, you do not have to peel the peaches. The skins soften as the cobbler bakes. If you want a smoother filling, peel them first.
Yes. Thaw the frozen peaches first, then drain off extra liquid before using them. This helps keep the cobbler from turning watery.
Fresh or frozen peaches are best for this recipe. Canned peaches are already soft, so they can make the filling mushier once baked.
The topping should be golden brown and the peach filling should be bubbling around the edges. A toothpick inserted into the topping should come out mostly clean.
Cover leftovers and store them in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.
Yes. Reheat individual servings in the microwave, or warm the baking dish in the oven at 300°F until heated through.
You can prep the peach filling and topping separately, then assemble and bake when ready. For the best texture, bake it fresh before serving.
Vanilla ice cream is the classic choice. Whipped cream also works, especially if you’re serving it slightly warm.
So delicious its seems like it should be more complicated than it is. The recipe is easy and quick if you’re looking for something delicious during the work week or a potluck party or if you just want something comforting to eat while chilling on the couch. 10/10!
This was so delicious! Comfort food at its best. One thing I loved about the recipe is that it wasn’t overly sweet so the peach flavor could really shine through.
Thank you! So happy you love this!
