48 Reviews of Fresh Peach Cobbler (Or Berry Cobbler)

Fabulous was the right word. It's the exact word my husband used with his first taste. I used fresh peaches from my tree. I used 3/4 cup butter since the recipe called for 1/2 to 1 cup. I used a 13x9 pan since that's what I had. I don't have a processor so beat the dry ingredients at slow speed with a mixer (in case dry ingredients being very evenly dispersed was important) & a mixer to combine milk & melted butter with dry ingredients. I was a little worried about the thiness of the batter over the peaches, but witin 15 minutes (my first peek into the oven) the batter had risen and covered all. It was very easy (only time consuming peeling so many peaches but very worth it). 350 degrees and 1 hour cooking time was perfect. I looked for a recipe without cornstarch & and with plain ingredients, so picked this one and I won't go any further. My peaches are very flavorful & juicy, but winter, supermarket peaches would probably work because the cinnamon & nutmeg on top and butter in the batter probably will make up for the lack in the winter peaches. I sure don't know why you only got 2 stars for your other review Sharlene. I'm checking out your other recipes right now. Your cobbler is a definite life time keeper!!!

I have to add my praises to everyone else! Oh, so good!!! I halved the recipe and then halved the sugar. It was still sweet enough for me. Instead of cinnamon and nutmeg I used 1/2 teaspoon oriental five-spice seasoning with my peaches and 1/2 teaspoon in the crust mixture. I loved it, really added depth to the cobbler. Easy to follow instructions and very easy to put together. Thanks for a keeper.

Good flavor and texture. I would add just a bit of lemon juice to the peaches to brighten them slightly, and perhaps use brown sugar for the top to add a touch of caramel. It's a good recipe but could use just that one something special to make it stand out. I like how versatile and easy it is.

We used frozen peaches and the cobbler came out wonderful. My 14 year old daughter made it and didn't have any problems following the directions, she is so proud of the scrumptious cobbler that resulted. We went and picked up blackberries for the next time she makes this. YUMMY!

A good recipe, but way too sweet. Adding lemon as someone suggested would help, and cutting the sugar a bit would too. I even used brown sugar on the fruit, which makes it mellower, and it was still too sweet. But as a basic cobbler recipe I really like it, so I will review again after modifying to my tastes. Thanks Sharlene!

Excellent recipe. The only change was I sprinkled a little cinnamon into the peaches. I will definately make this again only next time I will use 1 1/2 times the peach filling and leave the topping as is. I love the way the sugar caramelizes on the crust.

It has a good flavor. I think I put too much batter on top, because after baked it came out 2" thick. Next time I'll spread it a little thinner.

I was going to say the dough came out too cakey for me, that I was looking for something a little more crust-like, but when I looked in my bowl for evidence, it was licked clean! I don't know if that's the way it always comes out or if it was because I was interrupted after I mixed the batter and it thickened up before I spread it over the fruit, but it came out delicious anyway. The spiced sugar topping really made this dessert irresistible. We found it to be equally excellent whether served warm or at room temp. I halved the recipe and mixed the batter by hand, but otherwise made it as directed. I wouldn't change a thing, except to make more next time. Thanks for such a yummy recipe!

After bringing this to work for a potluck meal, I am now being called the best baker in the department! Many have asked for the recipe and everybody loved it. Thank you for posting such a wonderful recipe that is so easy to make. — posted Oct 5, 2005
