This easy southern peach cobbler recipe can be ready in just minutes! It’s an old fashioned recipe from my mom.

I remember growing up she would, at times, surprise us with a delicious warm peach cobbler as a treat. 

The house always smell delicious when you walked in the front door and a fresh homemade peach cobbler was in the oven.

Yum, really good memories.  I should tell you that my mom is a real southern cook.  She never made peach cobblers with a pie crust, a cake mix or Bisquick, all the ingredients for her southern peach cobbler recipe were from scratch.

She always used a quart of homemade canned peaches, but of course, you can use fresh peaches too. If using fresh peaches, they do need to be peeled.

Easy Way to Peel Peaches for Cobbler

If you are using fresh peaches they do need to peeled. But peeling them is pretty simple. Just place peaches into a pan of water boiling water for about 30-45 seconds. Remove and immediately put into a bowl of “ice water.”

Then with a sharp knife, score peach and peeling will come right off.

How to Make Ahead Southern Peach Cobbler

If you are cooking a big meal for dinner and need to have a delicious dessert on hand for later, this easy peach cobbler recipe can easily be made ahead and stored for enjoying later. It easily reheats in the oven.

But of course, it’s best when eaten fresh. If it needs to be reheated, place it in the oven at room temperature covered with a piece of aluminum foil to keep it moist and to prevent over browning.

The wonderful thing about preparing a peach cobbler ahead of time, is it can be stored in the refrigerator for 3-5 days, or left out on the counter overnight and eaten the next day. All you need to do is cover it with a clean towel and heat and eat.

If it needs to be stored more than a day, it should be kept in the refrigerator.
