Meet the peach cobbler of my dreams!<\/strong> This irresistible dessert features warm, bubbling peaches with a golden cobbler topping that’s craggy at the edges and tender inside. Make this recipe from mid-to-late summer when fresh peaches are at their peak. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This simple peach cobbler recipe is sweet but not too sweet, so the glorious peach flavor shines above all else. The filling is sweetened with honey, and the topping is lightly sweetened with lemony sugar—both of which impart some lovely complementary flavors that make this cobbler taste extra special. The recipe is not complete without some vanilla extract, cinnamon and yogurt for a light, buttermilk-like tang. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The buttery topping is made of almond flour, which offers a tender crumb and light almond flavor that pairs perfectly with ripe peaches. I tried making this cobbler with regular all-purpose flour and much preferred it with almond flour. Thanks to the almond flour, this recipe is gluten-free, whether you need it to be or not!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

How to Make the Best Peach Cobbler<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You’ll find the full recipe below.<\/strong> Here’s a brief preview of the process and why it works so well: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Mix together the filling ingredients directly in your baking dish to avoid dirtying another dish. Bake the filling for about 20 minutes while you prepare the topping. With this two-step baking process, you’ll achieve a bubbly, condensed peach filling with a perfectly golden topping. If you try to bake it all together at once, the topping will turn too golden before the filling is done (I know because I tried). <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. The topping comes together in a few simple steps. You’ll want to combine the sugar and lemon zest in a small bowl, and use your fingers to rub the zest into the sugar (this takes about 20 seconds and maximizes the lemon flavor). We’ll grate cold butter into the flour for a biscuit-like texture. Lastly, we’ll whisk together an egg with some yogurt before stirring into the flour for even dispersion. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Dollop big spoonfuls of topping over the bubbling filling, and bake until the topping is lightly golden. Serve your cobbler with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream<\/a>. Leftovers are fantastic the next day with Greek yogurt for breakfast!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Peach Tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The only “hard” part about this recipe is finding great peaches. Wait to make it until you can find an abundance of ripe or nearly-ripe fresh peaches. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Peach selection and care<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Look for medium-to-large peaches that are fragrant, unblemished and yield slightly to a gentle squeeze.<\/strong> Treat them gently so they don’t bruise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If your peaches aren’t ripe yet,<\/strong> store them at room temperature until they are (you can speed their ripening by storing them in a paper bag, but give each peach some space so they don’t mold). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If your peaches are ripe already<\/strong> and you can’t bake the cobbler right away, store them in the refrigerator to keep them good for another day or two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    How to peel peaches<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    You don’t have to peel the peaches<\/strong> if you’re not bothered by some texture in your dessert (I didn’t mind it, but my husband did). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If you want to peel the peaches,<\/strong> lightly score an “x” about two inches wide at the base of each peach, gently dunk them into a big pot of boiling water for 30 seconds to 1 minute, then transfer them to an ice bath. Peel off the skin starting from the cuts on the bottom, and it will come off easily in strips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    How to cut your peaches<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Slice your peaches into one-inch chunks<\/strong> instead of long strips. They offer perfect bites and don’t disappear to mush. This is a handy tip I picked up from Sally<\/a>—thanks Sally! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
