It's peach season, and I came across this super-easy recipe. Use this seasonal fruit in this easy-to-prepare Peach Cobbler. Serve with a scoop or two of creamy vanilla ice cream. In my book, this is a comfort food.



1 3/4 lbs. fresh peaches (4 cups)
1/2 cup (4 oz.) salted butter
1 cup self-rising flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup whole milk
1 tsp. vanilla extract



Preheat oven to 350ºF. Gently rub the peaches under running water to remove fuzz, and slice the peaches. 

Place butter in an 11- x 7-inch baking dish; place dish in oven until butter melts.

Stir together flour, sugar, milk, and vanilla in a separate bowl.

Pour ingredients onto melted butter. (Do not stir.) 
Spoon peaches over the mixture. (Do not stir.)

Bake in preheated oven until brown and bubbly, 45 to 50 minutes.


Note:
You can remove the skin from the peaches.
Sweeten to taste. If your peaches are sweet, use less sugar.
Serve warm. 
Drizzle caramel sauce over cobbler, whipping cream, vanilla ice cream, or fresh berries.
You can even sprinkle toasted pecans, walnuts, or almonds over the top.
Frozen, thawed peaches can be used.
Combine other fruits with the peaches, such as raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, plums, etc.

Peach Cobbler It's Easy

August 14, 2025

 


  • This recipe takes brownies to a new level. Creamy cheesecake and the swirls of tart cherry pie filling are sure to satisfy. Perfect for the 4th of July!


  • 1 (8-oz.) pkg. cream cheese, softened

  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar

  • 4 large eggs, at room temperature

  • 3/4 tsp. kosher salt, divided

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1/3 cup Dutch-process cocoa

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter

  • 1/2 cup 60% cacao bittersweet chocolate chips (from 1 [12-oz.] pkg.)

  • 1 cup granulated sugar

  • 1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar

  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract

  • 3/4 cup cherry pie filling (such as Lucky Leaf)



Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat an 8-inch square metal baking pan with cooking spray; line with parchment paper or aluminum foil, leaving a 2-inch overhang on all sides. Set aside.

In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese and powdered sugar with an electric mixer on low speed until light and fluffy, about 1 minute. Add 1 of the eggs and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt; beat until just combined, and set aside. Whisk together flour, cocoa, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl until no lumps remain; set aside.

Add butter and chocolate chips to a large microwavable bowl. Microwave on HIGH in 30-second intervals, whisking after each interval, until chocolate is melted, about 1 minute. Whisk in granulated sugar and brown sugar until combined. Add vanilla and remaining 3 eggs; whisk until combined. Add flour mixture, whisking until no dry streaks remain.

Add batter to prepared baking pan, spreading in an even layer. Gently spread cream cheese mixture over batter; dollop cherry pie filling over cream cheese mixture. Using the tip of a butter knife, swirl cherry pie filling into cream cheese mixture as desired. Bake in preheated oven until cream cheese mixture is lightly browned around edges, 45 to 50 minutes. Let cool to room temperature in pan on a wire rack, about 1 hour. Chill at least 1 hour before slicing.

This has to be the best I have ever tasted. A #1 keeper for me. Super moist and picture-perfect when it came out of the oven. This is the first-pound cake from scratch I have ever made.

1 (8-oz.) package cream cheese, softened
3 cups sugar
6 large eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon table salt


Beat butter and cream cheese at medium speed with an electric mixer for 2 minutes or until creamy; gradually add sugar, beating until mixture is light and fluffy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating until combined. Add vanilla extract, and beat just until blended.

Combine flour and salt in a small bowl; gradually add to butter mixture, beating at low speed just until blended after each addition. Pour batter into a greased (with shortening) and floured 10-inch tube pan.

Bake at 300° for 1 hour and 25 to 30 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool cake pan on a wire rack 10 to 15 minutes; remove from pan, and let cool completely on wire rack (about 1 hour).
