Southern Biscuit Style Cobbler

Wednesday, August 23, 2023
Southern Fruit Cobbler is best served warm with a scoop of old-fashioned vanilla bean ice cream and can be made with either a variety of fresh fruits or just one that you prefer.

Our version below is with fresh seasonal peaches but we also have berries cobblers below as well bursting with old-fashioned biscuit topping!

If you love a buttery-rich crust-topped fruit, you are certainly in the right recipe for a delicious dessert treat.

This old-fashioned made-from-scratch cobbler hits every checkmark when it comes to authentic delicious desserts.

We just love the rum flavor that compliments any fruits you prefer, however for those not fans of rum just substitute vanilla or another flavored extract your family will enjoy.

Our cobbler recipe is so versatile you can make it all year long perfect from early Spring berries to fall first-picked apples, it's a win-win dessert.








Cobbler Addiction


Our family loves cobblers, and we are truly addicted to them.

Fresh apples and cinnamon adorn our home in the fall with this comfort dessert and red raspberry in Spring and peaches in late summer.

No matter what fruit you choose from Rainier cherries, pears, peaches, mango, or pineapple, just adapt away to your heart's content with this basic recipe.

Cobbler and Other Named Desserts


Cobblers crumble, and crisps pretty much are a basic and easy dessert that falls under the same umbrella.

These remind me of a pie but without the double pie crust.

Cobblers usually have a buttery old-fashioned biscuit topping and sometimes more of a cake topping, crisps are topped with an oatmeal buttery crunchy streusel topping, and crumbles are topped with an oat-less crumb topping.

These desserts all have the same common concept, but cobbler almost always has the biscuit topping.

We are huge pie fans, and if you're one too these types of desserts like cobblers, crumbles, and crisps will be a favorite in your home also.

  15. Hi

    How do you core, slice and peel peaches.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Followed the recipe exactly except I had to use peaches from a jar since I don't have access to fresh peaches here. I was nervous at first because it looked soupy when it was in the dish so I was afraid I did something wrong. It ended up coming out amazing though and the whole family loved it. Super good!!!!
