**Introducing the Peach Cobbler of My Dreams!**
This delectable dessert showcases warm, bubbling peaches adorned with a golden cobbler crust that’s rugged on the edges and soft within. Create this recipe during mid-to-late summer when fresh peaches are in their prime.
This straightforward peach cobbler recipe is sweet but not overly so, allowing the wonderful peach taste to take center stage. The filling is sweetened with honey, while the topping has a light sweetness from zesty lemon sugar—both adding delightful complementary flavors that elevate this cobbler. The recipe would be incomplete without a hint of vanilla extract, a touch of cinnamon, and yogurt to provide a light, buttermilk-like tang.
The rich topping is crafted from almond flour, which yields a tender texture and subtle almond essence that complements the ripe peaches beautifully. I attempted this cobbler with regular all-purpose flour but found it far superior with almond flour. Thanks to almond flour, this recipe is gluten-free, regardless of dietary needs!
### Crafting the Ultimate Peach Cobbler
**You can find the complete recipe below.** Here’s a quick overview of the procedure and why it’s so effective:
1. Combine the filling ingredients directly in your baking dish to keep things tidy. Bake the filling for roughly 20 minutes while preparing the topping. This two-step baking method ensures you end up with a bubbly, concentrated peach filling and a perfectly golden crust. If you bake it all at once, the topping may brown too soon before the filling is cooked through (trust me, I learned the hard way).
2. The topping comes together easily in a few steps. Start by mixing the sugar and lemon zest in a small bowl, using your fingers to work the zest into the sugar (this takes about 20 seconds and enhances the lemon flavor). Grate cold butter into the flour to create a biscuit-like texture. Finally, whisk an egg with some yogurt before mixing it into the flour for even distribution.
3. Generously dollop spoonfuls of topping over the bubbling filling and bake until the topping is lightly golden. Enjoy your cobbler with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. The leftovers are amazing the next day paired with Greek yogurt for breakfast!
### Peach Tips
The only challenging aspect of this recipe is sourcing excellent peaches. Hold off on making it until you can locate a bounty of ripe or nearly-ripe fresh peaches.
#### Selecting and Storing Peaches
**Choose medium-to-large peaches that are aromatic, blemish-free, and yield slightly to gentle pressure.** Handle them carefully to prevent bruising.
**If your peaches aren’t ripe yet,** leave them at room temperature until they reach ripeness (you can accelerate the process by placing them in a paper bag, but ensure each peach has some room to avoid molding).
**If your peaches are already ripe** and you can’t prepare the cobbler immediately, refrigerate them to keep them fresh for another day or two.
#### Peeling Peaches
**Peeling the peaches isn’t necessary** if you don’t mind a bit of texture in your dessert (I didn’t mind, though my husband did).
**To peel the peaches,** lightly score an “x” about two inches wide at the base of each peach, gently immerse them in a large pot of boiling water for 30 seconds to 1 minute, then transfer them to an ice bath. Start peeling from the incisions at the bottom, and the skin will come off effortlessly in strips.
#### Cutting Your Peaches
**Cut your peaches into one-inch chunks** rather than long strips. This results in ideal bites that don’t turn to mush. This handy tip came from Sally—thanks, Sally!
