I have been waiting all summer to make the perfect Peach Cobbler, and cannot decide if I should make a crumble type topping, a softer, biscuit type topping, or spread the dough in the bottom first, and then top with fresh peaches, and now there are crockpot recipes...hmmm.

The tasty choices are endless...how do the cook's in your family make Peach Cobbler?

I don't use any Bisquick - ever. It's full of hydrogenated oils. What's your vote?

Thanks in advance!

So What Happened?

Laurie, Yes, I did see your recipe first, and went ahead and asked, b/c I want to use fresh peaches, not canned. I like the dough part of your recipe, but am going to mix up fresh peaches with sugar, cinnamon and cornstarch.

Maureen, that is an interesting recipe with a diet soda. I might try it with a diet gingerale. I'd be bummed if it did not turn out though. How does yours turn out? Years ago I roasted some apple with a diet soda poured over it. A GF was over and she recommended it, so I tried it and everyone loved it.

Looks like you saw this recipe, You can use fresh peaches, frozen or canned. The secret is to also add some dried apricots that have been softened in a bit of sugar and 1/3 water. heated in a sauce pan, then add to
fresh, sliced up 4 large or 6 small peaches. Add 2 to 3 TBsp. sugar and 1/4 TBsp. lemon or orange juice and stir all together.

Here in Austin there was a restaurant that made fabulous Peach Cobbler.. Here is their famous Peach cobbler recipe..

It also will work for other fruits.

Texas Tumbleweed Peach Cobbler

In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar and teaspoons baking powder. Add one cup milk and stir until it's lumpy. In a small saucepan, melt 1/4 pound (one stick) butter or margarine (to save dirtying up an extra pan, I usually just turn on the oven to preheat and melt the butter right in the baking dish I'm making the cobbler in) and pur into a 9-inch baking pan. then pour the flour, sugar, milk mixture over the butter. DO NOT MIX!!!! Now cover with a large can of sliced peaches (in heavy syrup). DO NOT MIX!!!!!!

The topping is made of a half cup of sugar and five teaspoons of cinnamon mixed together and sprinkled over the peaches. DO NOT MIX!!!!! Bake this cobbler in a 350 degree oven for 45 - 50 minutes until the top of brown and bubbly. According to Tommy, chef, public relations man, and bottle washer at the Texas Tumbleweed, "If you mix the ingredients in this recipe, you'll blow it."

If you're lucky enough to have some Blue Bell Vanilla Ice Cream, top while warm with a big ol' scoop. We have to substitute with another brand.

just threw mine in the oven....but I call it a "crunch". I use frozen/thawed fruits. & we process fresh each summer. :)

no measurements, just guesstimates:

1 bag frozen peaches. I think it's about 4 cups.
1 bag frozen blueberries. About 2 cups.
Add about 1-2 tsp cinnamon & 1-1 1/2 cup of sugar (I use Splenda)
Stir together in a baking dish/glass pan (ungreased).

Topping: about 1 1/2-2 cups oats, some pecans (chopped or a handful of whole), & about 1 cup of brown sugar (again I use Splenda brown sugar). Stir to combine. & then cut-in scissor-style 1/2-1 whole stick margarine/butter. You want it to be like a crumb topping.
Bake at 350 for about an hour or until juices are absorbed/topping is crunchy.

I use the Splenda products because my DH is a diabetic. I try to limit the margarine/butter (using the minimum to hold it all together), & I use oats to help fight cholesterol in general. Made this for our reunion recently & everybody was surprised it was diabetic-friendly. :)

My Aunt does it best but I just go for quick and easy. It's a good recipe for little kids to help with and both my grown boys make it!

1 cup flour
1 cup sugar
1 beaten egg
6 Tablespoons of melted butter

2 cans of peaches, the juice of only one of the cans.
If fresh peaches, put about a Tablespoon of lemon on them.

Mix the sugar and flour and then add the egg with a fork till crumbly. Put the peaches in the bottom of the 8-9 inch baking dish. Pour the sugar mixture over the top and level it out. Pour that butter evenly over the top.
375 degree oven for 30-40 mins and you have people coming in from all over the neighborhood!

I know you asked about cobbler, not pie, but I chanced upon 18 fully ripe peaches for $3 & a pie was calling my name!

For anyone who has fresh peaches & no cooking ability (like me!), super easy peach pie recipe is linked below. I used approximately 5 med-large peaches sliced for the pie filling.

http://allrecipes.com/recipe/peach-pie-the-old-fashioned-...

The picture on the site shows a lattice upper crust, but I just bought a 2-pack of premade refridgerated pie crust & laid one on the bottom, added my filling, then one on the top, pressed them together & made 6 slits in the top. Perfection!

P.S. because I am so kitchen-inept, I used a potato peeler to take off 'most' of the peel. Other people told me I could have blanched the peaches first... ??

Yummmm...! T.
