What is Peach Cobbler?

Peach cobbler is a desert that resembles a deep-dish pie, and consists of a fruit filling which is covered in a batter. There are many different varieties if cobbler, but peach cobbler seems to be the cobbler most people make. Perhaps it’s due to the fact its very affordable to make if you use canned peaches versus fresh peaches, and peaches are typically more affordable in comparison to blackberries (which also makes for a kick-butt cobbler).

What brand of canned peaches is best for Southern Peach Cobbler?

With so many brands of canned peaches you may be wondering which would be the best brand to use to make peach cobbler. To be honest, and maybe it’s just my taste buds, but every canned peach I’ve eaten tastes the same. Feel free to use any brand of peaches, but if you have to choose between light or heavy syrup; I’d choose the heavy syrup as it gives the peach cobbler a richer taste.

Do I really need to use canned peaches? What alternatives are there?

Hey, I get it. Not everyone likes to use canned peaches and if you opt to use fresh peaches that’s certainly okay. Perhaps the store is plum out of canned peaches and if you’re planning on making peach cobbler in the winter, you can always buy a bag of frozen peaches. If you’re going to use frozen peaches, make sure you defrost them prior to preparing your peach cobbler.
