Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

  1. 10 (8 1/2-ounce) cans sliced peaches, drained
  2. 2 sticks unsalted butter, divided, 1 stick cut into small pieces
  3. 1 cup sugar, plus 1/4 cup
  4. 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  5. 1/8 teaspoon grated nutmeg
  6. 1/2 cup plain bread crumbs
  7. 2 store bought refrigerated pie doughs
  8. 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  9. Canola oil spray
  10. 1 pint vanilla ice cream, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. In a large saucepan, add peaches, 1 stick of butter, 1 cup of sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg and bring to a simmer. Add bread crumbs and stir. Using a sprinkle of flour, roll out both pie crusts; 1 will be used for the top of the cobbler and 1 for the bottom.
  3. Spray a 10-inch square pan with canola oil and place 1 layer of dough into the baking dish. Place a few chips of butter, as well as a dusting of the remaining sugar, on the bottom crust. Pour the peach mixture into the baking dish. Cut the top layer of dough into strips and arrange them on the top of the peaches in a lattice pattern. Top with 3 or 4 chips of butter and bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the crust is brown and the peaches are bubbling. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.

This is peach cobbler!! When you are in the south or at any soul food restaurant, this is what you find! It’s absolutely perfect. Don’t do anything differently.
Lisa Padilla
This is one for the ages. I like that cinnamon and nutmeg is used
Corey Cox
Delicious, but too much sugar for my taste. I’m going to retry this recipe with half the sugar to taste more of the peaches and spices.
Nicholas Wolf

I’ve used Aretha’s recipe for years, ❤️ it!

This peach cobbler is delicious! However I will cut a bit of the butter next time. Aside from this, it tastes great. I used fresh peaches about 4 cups & it fit perfectly in the dish…
It came out beautiful!
Will make it again soon!

Can you use fresh peaches? If so how many?

This recipe is fantastic. I’m not one for baking at all but I was asked to make one so I had to try it out. The only thing I could add is you might want to reserve a little of the juice from the peaches to mix in after you mix in the bread crumbs if it seems a little dry. I just eyeballed it till it was where I wanted it. It reminded me of peach cobbler my mother made back in the day.
