Ingredients

You don’t need fancy stuff — just these basics!

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick)

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Place the stick of butter in a 9×13-inch baking dish and put it in the oven to melt completely.

6. If desired, sprinkle a little cinnamon over the top.

Tips to Make Paula Deen Peach Cobbler: The Ultimate Southern Dessert

• Don’t skip the self-rising flour—it’s key for that fluffy topping!
• If you want a deeper peach flavor, try mixing in some diced fresh peaches along with the canned ones.
• Timing is everything; let it cool for at least 15 minutes to solidify the filling.
• Cinnamon is optional, but it adds that perfect hint of spice, enhancing the overall flavor.

Variation

Want to switch things up? Try adding blueberries or blackberries to the mix for a fruity twist. If you’re feeling adventurous, a splash of almond extract can elevate the flavor profile beautifully. You can even make this dessert vegan by using a substitute for butter and milk.

FAQs

Can I use fresh peaches instead of canned?
Absolutely! Just peel and slice enough fresh peaches to equal about 2-3 cups, and toss them with some sugar and a bit of cornstarch for a sticky filling.

Can I make this ahead of time?
For sure! You can prepare the batter and the peach layer in advance. Just assemble and bake when you’re ready to serve.

How do I store leftovers?
Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. To reheat, just pop it in the microwave or oven until warm.
