Peach cobbler brings back so many amazing memories for me. Living in the South for over 15 years, I was afforded the opportunity to eat some of the most AHHHMAZING comfort food, and peach cobbler is one of my favorites. One of my all time favorite peach cobbler recipes is Ree Drummond’s from the Pioneer Lady on Food Network. One of the reasons it is my favorite is because she took a couple short-cuts, using frozen peaches being one of them- but it’s still so amazing and delicious!
This recipe calls for a bit more for the topping- because that’s the favorite part of peach cobbler in this house!
This recipe is super simple, using frozen peaches instead of fresh cuts out a lot of time and labor. Fresh peaches can most certainly be substituted in place of the frozen, but I can assure you, this is just as tasty! Top it with french vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for the ultimate dessert.
