Food Network has teamed up with food bloggers to bring back Summer Fest 2011, a summer long event featuring our recipes made with fresh, in-season fruits and vegetables. This is my first time taking part in it, and I’m pretty excited. This week is peaches!
In the summertime there’s really nothing like fresh fruit, especially from local stands or farmer’s markets. Everything taste better there, especially peaches. I like to buy locally grown (Chilton County, AL). Ever heard of a Chilton County peach?
This is my go-to recipe for cobbler; it’s pretty much fool proof. I’m definitely not a baker, so if I can make this anyone can.
Preheat oven to 350°.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt, then stir in egg and milk. Evenly drizzle the melted butter into a 9X13 baking dish, then add the flour mixture.
Combine the sugar, cinnamon and peaches. Spoon this mixture over the batter – but do not stir it.
Bake 30-45 minutes, but check after about 25 minutes because in my oven, sometimes it tends to get more done around the edges quicker than the middle. If that happens, cover the outside with strips of aluminum foil and bake until the inside is done.
Top it off with vanilla ice cream, and dig in.
My husband swears up and down he does NOT like “warm fruit” in his food. He ate this. And then ate it some more. I didn’t remind him that there’s “warm fruit” in there.
I might have taken a bite or two.

It looks like the perfect ration of fruit to cake. No cake mix either. Win win!

Thanks! It’s a pretty easy recipe.
Wow this looks so amazing. I would love a bowl of it right now with a large scoop of vanilla ice cream. Peach cobbler just screams summer. Thanks for sharing.
I must admit this post is very wonderful . Thanks once again for the push!
Oh man! I haven’t had peach cobbler in a long time. I had it all the time when I lived in Texas. You just don’t see it much here in Wisconsin.
I will save this recipe and make it very soon!
Love me some Chilton County peaches! Thanks for the recipe.
Is that actually a bit of caramelized peach I see in there? Oh major yum! I don’t think there’s anything better than fresh fruit, caramelized and cooked with ice cream. Yours looks heavenly.
Oh my goodness, so glad you are you participating in the Summer Fest! I can’t wait to try your Cobbler which looks divine! New fan here!
I’m from Birmingham, AL, so I know how good those Chilton County peaches are!!

Wow this peach cobbler looks amazing! I’ll have to snag some peaches at the farmer’s market this weekend. Yum!
Oh, how I love anything peach!! I’ve been eagerly waiting for my dad’s tree to produce, and we are within days of a bag of peaches. Cobble is at the top of my list, and it’s wonderful to have a tried and true recipe. Thanks!

This looks fabulous! I haven’t made a cobbler for a loooong time. Perhaps its time…
Your peach cobbler looks amazing! Nothing better than a bowl of cobbler with ice cream on a hot summer day. Great dish!
