My uncle cooks a family favorite. With a blend of crispy, chewy, and crunchy textures, they strike the perfect balance between salty and sweet. A tray of these is devoured by my family in fifteen minutes.

My family loved this. I didn’t have enough peaches so I added blueberries. YUM!! Topping was perfect. Not too sweet but sweet enough. 20-23 minutes in the oven was perfect for a golden brown topping.
I followed the recipe exactly. It was an excellent peach cobbler. This is my new peach cobbler recipe!
Perfect amount of sweetness. I made it vegan by using vegan butter.
This was not my favorite recipe and I usually love the highly rated recipes on the site. I felt the consistency was too dry for a cobler and the flour filling overpowered the peaches.
This recipe is great! Even my hubby, who was less than enthusiastic about the whole wheat lived it! I didn’t change a thing.
Loved it, but the top looked burnt.
Excellent! Just the right amount of sweetness and the topping was delectably light and crisp. I used King Arthur White Whole Wheat Flour and, since I was using what I could salvage from a bunch of seconds/bruised peaches, I went by weight instead of number of peaches. Two pounds does it. And don’t bother peeling the peaches, for heaven’s sake! Oh, and thick chunks work just fine. 🙂 I will be making two 6-quart pans of this for a community dinner and will report back on making it for a crowd.
My daughter and I went peach picking and when we got home to make this recipe, I discovered that we were out of butter! I substituted unsweetened applesauce and left off the final sprinkle of brown sugar and it turned out amazing! The topping became cake like but very moist and fluffy and not too sweet. It soaked up the juice from the peaches just right. My non-sweet tooth husband loves it as do I. Will make it the same way again.
I love this recipe. It’s simple and the results are great. As did others, I baked it for 20 minutes after adding the dough. Also, I used ground ginger rather than nutmeg.
Love this lower sugar recipe…just sprinkled about 1/2 teaspoon brown sugar on the top instead of what was recommended. The biscuit topping tasted like a yummy cake, but I would add some oatmeal to the top to make it more crunchy. Very delicious…would make it again!
I made as is, but drained most of the liquid that accumulated when baking just the peaches (before putting the topping on). Other than that, I followed the recipe as is and it was incredibly good. My whole family loved it. Said it was better than any they had, even from a restaurant. Served it warm with a small scoop of French Vanilla ice cream on top.
I loved this! I found this recipe in search for a peach cobbler that wasn’t loaded with sugar. Tastes way better than regular peach cobbler in my opinion! I made it out of peach season so I had to use canned peaches but it still turned out great. Everyone who tried it loved it. I will definitely make it again
Wonderful recipe, and uses way less sugar than most. You don’t even miss it though. The only change I made was to use fresh grated nutmeg and an additional teaspoon of baking powder to make the topping a bit fluffier. Serve with good quality vanilla ice cream or frozen yogurt-YUM!
Maybe less cinnamon next time, but very easy and healthy.
It was plenty sweet , you can even cut back on final topping. Of course I had some sweet peaches.
I twiked my recipe with this one. Great combination. ??
Made this with the addition of ~1/4 cup chopped pecans on the top and it was amazing!
I will make this cobbler again. Loved the lower sugar and that the peaches were the star not the topping. I did not make the sugar mixture to sprinkle on top because I had some left from another recipe. I used less and it was still sweet. It may have kept the topping from burning as sugar turns to carbon at high temperatures.
I put in a little bit of Pinot Grigio…….it was fantastic.
I used the recommend 8 peaches but that was too many. I would recommend 4 instead.
I find that adding white/brown sugar or just plain wheat in fruit cobbler dessert usually does not work for me taste-wise cause I can get fresh picked fruit in my area and I like ice cream or yogurt with it. I always trying to find a way to cut back added sugar without messing up the structure cause I like a nice biscuit topping; plus I am always looking for ways to use other grains and nuts instead of the empty, lacking. boring wheat. So…. I will take this recipe and modify it but if anyone out there has already done that please share.
