Easy Luscious Peach Cobbler is simple to make and delicious, with juicy peaches nestled in a buttery, fluffy cake topping. Top it with ice cream for a yummy dessert your whole family will enjoy!
Awhile back, Shannon jarred some tomatoes and peaches and gave me one of each. I knew right away what I’d be doing with the tomatoes. Psssh. Spaghetti sauce, of course! It was amazing. Probably the best I’ve ever made. F’reals. But the peaches? I had to think about that. I don’t often bake with fruit, mostly because I don’t really love pie. But then I got to thinking about the couple times I’ve had peach cobbler, and I recalled it being pretty good.
So, in true food blogger form, I decided to recreate it at home. And friends? I had forgotten how amazing peach cobbler truly is. Luscious peaches simmered in a lemon-and-cinnamon-spiked sauce and topped with a buttery, cakey crust? DROOL. Served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top? Completely and decadently delicious. The best part is this Easy Luscious Peach Cobbler is—you guessed it—super EASY to make!
