There’s something magical about the smell of bubbling peaches, cinnamon, and buttery crust drifting through the kitchen. It takes me right back to summers at my aunt’s farmhouse in Georgia. We’d pick ripe peaches straight from the tree, still warm from the sun, and by dinnertime, there was always a cobbler waiting to cool on the windowsill.

This Georgia-style peach cobbler is all about letting those juicy peaches shine — baked under a golden, biscuit-like topping that soaks up the syrupy goodness as it bakes. It’s rustic, sweet, and the kind of dessert that feels like a big Southern hug.

I love serving this one warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It’s simple, classic, and one of those recipes that makes everyone pause mid-bite and say, “Mmm, what is this?”

Ingredients for Georgia Peach Cobbler Recipe

For the filling:

• 6 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (or use frozen, thawed and drained)

• ¾ cup granulated sugar

• 2 tablespoons brown sugar

• 1 teaspoon cinnamon

• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

• 2 teaspoons cornstarch

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the topping:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour

• ½ cup sugar

• 1½ teaspoons baking powder

• ¼ teaspoon salt

• ½ cup milk

• ⅓ cup unsalted butter, melted

Optional: additional cinnamon sugar for sprinkling on top

How to Make Georgia Peach Cobbler Recipe

1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 9x13 baking dish.

2. Make the filling. In a large bowl, mix sliced peaches with both sugars, cinnamon, lemon juice, cornstarch, and vanilla. Pour into the prepared dish.

3. Make the topping. In another bowl, stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add milk and melted butter; stir until smooth.

4. Assemble and bake. Drop spoonfuls of the batter over the peaches, spreading gently. Sprinkle with a little extra cinnamon sugar if desired. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbling.

5. Cool slightly and serve. Let rest for 10–15 minutes before serving warm, ideally with a scoop of ice cream.

Sarah’s Simple Tips

• Use fresh peaches if you can. When they’re in season, nothing beats the flavor.

• Don’t overmix the topping. A light hand keeps it tender and fluffy.

• Make it ahead. Cobbler is just as delicious at room temperature or reheated the next day.

Flavorful Conclusion
