Easy Southern Peach Cobbler

I don’t know, maybe it’s just me, but I love a good old fashioned peach cobbler anytime of the year.

You know how most people say that apple pies are for the fall, lemon meringue is for the summer, and pecan pies are for the holiday season?

Well, I think peach cobbler can be enjoyed anytime of the year.

I don’t hold my love of peach cobbler to any specific time of the year. I think it’s a crime against humanity to enjoy a southern peach cobbler only for a couple of months.

I love it so much that I even came up with a 3-minute microwave peach cobbler recipe for those times I want one really quick and don’t want to share.

Southern Peach Cobbler Recipe – A Family Favorite

This easy peach cobbler with canned peaches recipe is definitely one of my favorite desserts.

I’ve tried making a southern peach cobbler with fresh peaches, but for some reason I prefer the canned fruit over the fresh fruit.

This is really weird for me because I love eating fresh fruit throughout the day and the only time I do buy canned fruit is for making about two or three desserts, this being one of them.

Also, it’s a time-saver for me because I don’t have to fight with getting the fuzz off of the peaches before I cook them.

This mom needs all of the time she can get!

It took me a couple of years to perfect this recipe because my taste has changed over the years.

I had an almond extract phase and then an orange extract phase, so those two worked their way into earlier versions of this recipe.

Admittedly, they were good but they weren’t good enough and I think they took away from the flavor of the classic peach cobbler recipe.

My husband was my sole taste-tester in the beginning and he never really gave my peach cobbler bad reviews, of course.

Now that my babies are older and I started getting more requests for my peach cobbler at family get-togethers I know that I’ve made the perfect peach cobbler recipe.

One thing that I like about this recipe is that I’m able to substitute coconut oil for butter.

This substitute is great for people who have a very high lactose sensitivity, like myself.

If I do choose to live on the wild side (or am out of coconut oil) I’ll definitely use butter from my original peach cobbler recipe.

Sometimes love does equal pain…Ok, I guess only when it comes to my love of peach cobbler.

When I truly want to live on the edge, after piling some warm peach cobbler on a plate, I’ll top that baby off with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!

Now, there’s really no way to beat southern peach cobbler with vanilla ice cream!

I hope you enjoy this recipe!
