Peach Cobbler is a classic and iconic Southern Recipe that has been around for generations. I love peach cobbler; the sweet peaches and the flaky crust! The only thing I crave more than this recipe is peach cobbler with a heap of vanilla ice cream on top. When paired with any ice cream, it is the perfect dessert for any day of the year.

Peach cobbler is a staple every holiday on my soul food dessert table and I’ve been perfecting this recipe for years, and I think that it’s the best you’ll ever taste. Everyone prefers fresh peaches but in reality fresh peaches may not always be available. And although canned peaches can be a great substitute, I think the next best solution to fresh peaches are frozen peaches. I have been using frozen peaches for many years and everyone loves my peach cobbler. The combination of the spices I use, the sweetness of the peaches and the flaky and buttery crust is just perfect. If you’re looking for a delicious and easy-to-make recipe, then you need to try mine. It’s sure to become a family favorite!

Ingredients for Peach Cobbler Recipe:

For this recipe I used: frozen peaches that I found to be convenient when fresh peaches are out of season. Fresh peaches are ideal for this recipe when available. Also rolled pie crust is a great substitution for homemade. If you have time, a homemade crust can be used instead. Homemade crust can give your cobbler a more nostalgic flavor. If you like to see how I make my homemade crust see my apple pie video.

Frozen Peaches: I love to make peach cobbler all year around and frozen peaches make that easier to do when fresh peaches are out of season.

What to Do With Leftover Peach Cobbler

I can’t remember a time when I had any leftover Peach cobbler. But if you are ever so fortunate to have leftovers, here’s how to store it:

Refrigerate:

Cool: Make sure the cobbler is completely cooled to room temperature.
Cover: Cover your peach cobbler dish with plastic wrap, aluminum foil, or transfer to an airtight container.
Refrigerate: Store the cobbler in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Freeze (for longer storage): You can freeze peach cobbler for up to 3 months.

Cool: Let the cobbler cool completely.
Wrap: Wrap the entire cobbler dish tightly with plastic wrap and then aluminum foil, or transfer individual servings to airtight freezer-safe containers.

To reheat:

Refrigerated cobbler: Reheat in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 15 minutes, or until warmed through. You can also microwave individual portions until heated through.
Frozen cobbler: When reheating frozen cobbler, thaw overnight in the refrigerator. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C)350 for 15 minutes. You can bake frozen cobbler directly from the freezer, but you may need to increase the baking time.
