Peach Cobbler

 Ginny Ferguson says:
This is the recipe my mother always used, and I have never found anywhere! We have always loved it, and I'm so glad that we're not the only ones using it! Also, if you want to use whole wheat flour, adding sour cream will help it be more fluffy. Recently, in an attempt at living healthily, I do not use the amount of sugar it calls for, and add just a tad more flour and baking powder, but for years I made it exactly as it says, minus the juice. We prefer just the fruit dropped onto it so it isn't runny. It's so tasty. I always double or quadruple this recipe. The butter has to be real butter, otherwise it tastes funny. The buttery, crispy, chewy crust is the best part!

This is the recipe my Grandmother used too! As a kid we'd used our home canned peaches, it was our favorite dessert! Now, my family enjoys it, so much that I double it! When ever I take it anywhere I have cards made up with the recipe on it because somebody always asks for it. And I agree with Ginny.... the crust is the best part!

This is almost the exact recipe my grandmother used (born in 1900 in Indian Territory). I use a can of sliced peaches, drained, or a can of any kind of fruit pie filling. Sprinkle cinnamon and sugar on the top.

I made this cobbler this evening and it is gone already. It was delicious. I plan on making one for my mother with Splenda because she is a diabetic I'm sure it will taste good to her. Thanks!

Drainning the peaches makes a huge difference. I sprinkled a little cinnamon and sugar over top. Boys just loved it.

I drained the canned fruit. I used peaches one day and apricots the next. This was so easy and fast to make. I also baked for 40 minutes.

 Gianna (Oregon) replies:
Tried this last night, very quick & easy. I was out of almond extract so used vanilla with no trouble. I used home-canned peaches; but drained off the liquid rather than baking it with the cobbler. I also sprinkled cinnamon-sugar on top prior to baking. Thumbs up all around, even from my picky eater!

I have made this for years. I had to check ratio of ingredients, so, came here. Use any canned fruit, including fruit cocktail. I use whole canned peaches and turn them sunny side up.. This is how the recipe got its name.. it looks like cobble stones.

I've always used this recipe for blackberry cobbler. You can use fresh or frozen berries. I've also used self-rising flour instead of the baking powder, etc. It is so easy. I plan to try it with Splenda, too.

 Ashley (Georgia) says:
Hey I haven't made the cobbler yet but I'm definitely going to use yours because of all the good comments it received. I was wondering is there any other fruit that you think would be good in it cause I really like strawberries but I don't know if that will work right.

 Cathryn (Georgia) says:
I have to admit it was tasty, didnt really come out fluffy and crispy like I was hoping even after some extra time in the oven. I did add a little cinnamon to the batter which I thought added that sweet warm taste to it as well. Over all the whole family still loved it!

Hi Cathryn,

Check the date on your baking powder can and toss it after 8 months or so. I use a sharpie on the bottom of the can to mark the date I first opened it. If the baking powder used isn't new or moisture has gotten to it, longer time in the oven won't help it to rise. Have the oven preheating while you mix it up and be sure to bake it right away or some of the baking powder leavening can be lost.

Another tip is to make sure you don't mix this batter much at all. It's better to stir it together by hand than to use an electric mixer to avoid over-beating and to have a more tender cobbler. You can substitute some of the flour with cake or pastry flour, too. Be sure not to use bread flour.

On vacay in Hawaii, so I made a Mango Cobbler that disappeared in minutes. Followed the recipe using diced, fresh mango. Thanks again for a real winner, CM!

 Tammy S. Weinhold (Kansas) replies:
Just wanted to add my 2 cents in about the baking powder. I use Rumford and buy it in bulk and have never had a problem with it going bad. I have never thrown it away after 8 months. I think the problem with other brands of baking powder is they add aluminum to it (anti-caking agent).
