Southern Style Peach Cobbler

I had a friend ask me the other day if I had a good peach cobbler recipe. She needed one because her daughter had requested peach cobbler for her birthday. It's funny...because I had JUST been thinking the day before how I need one here on SFFS. I love a cobbler with a yummy biscuit topping....so here you go! This went super fast at our house and my friend, being who she is...got an advance copy of this recipe for her daughter's birthday dessert. She served hers with Dairy Queen soft serve ice cream which I thought was GENIUS!!! This is so yummy right out of the oven but truth be told...it's yummy heated up in the microwave, too!

I usually only make pecan pie during the holidays and even then....it's iffy. It's not my favorite or even IT Guy's favorite but he does really like it. That's how I knew he would really like this. This "cobbler" is super-duper easy to make and once you read the directions on how it's made, you're going be like....what the what? And you get what? Yep...you get a really good dessert that's a cross between a pecan pie and a gooey cobbler. And make sure you've got some vanilla ice cream on hand...you're gonna need it. I promise.

Strawberry Cobbler

Cobblers are one of my most favorite things. Cherry and berry are the best, in my opinion. Also...I love peach. I don't think I've ever made a strawberry cobbler before, though. But because I have a huge bag of strawberries to use up...I thought..ehhh..why not? Oh my!!! Where has this been all my life! This lasted practically no time at our house...you'd think these people never get dessert! I think IT Guy had it for breakfast a couple of times, as a matter of fact. Really good and the Bisquick topping makes it super simple! Try it...NOW!

Strawberry Cobbler

4 cups quartered strawberries (fresh or frozen)
1 1/2 cups sugar ~ divided use
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup Bisquick
1 egg
1 stick butter ~ melted
1/2 stick butter ~ melted
Sugar for sprinkling ~ optional

In a medium bowl, combine strawberries, 1/2 cup sugar and vanilla. Allow to sit at room temp 2 hours.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9x13 inch baking pan with cooking spray.

Spread strawberry mixture in the bottom of the prepared pan.

In a medium bowl, combine the Bisquick, sugar, egg and 1/2 stick melted butter.

Scatter Bisquick mixture over berries.

Pour remaining 1 stick melted butter over Bisquick mixture.

Sprinkle with a little sugar.

Bake for 35 - 40 minutes until lightly browned.

Apple Cobbler Cake

What's better than an easy dessert? One with apples, that's what! This is a great little treat when you need something fast. It can be easily doubled to feed more people but this small amount was great for us. I served ours with caramel sauce because I was out of vanilla ice cream but I can only imagine what this would have tasted like with a cold scoop of ice cream melting down into the nooks and crannies. Guess that's a good excuse to make it again....right?

Apple Cobbler Cake



4 - 5 large apples ~ peeled and sliced (I used Gala apples)
1 1/4 cups + 2 tablespoons sugar ~ divided use
1 teaspoons cinnamon
1/4 cup butter ~ softened
2 eggs
1 cups flour

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Spray a 9x9 inch baking pan with cooking spray.

Place apples into prepared pan.

In a small bowl, mix 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons of the sugar and the cinnamon. Sprinkle half over apples.

In a mixing bowl, cream the butter and remaining 1 cup of sugar.

Add eggs and flour and mix well.

Pour mixture over apples and spread to cover apples.

Sprinkle remaining cinnamon/sugar mixture over the top of the batter.

Bake for an 60 - 70 minutes.

Serve hot or cold....or try it with ice cream!

 

Here's what you need.

 

Slice the apples and place 

in the bottom of your pan.

 

Mix 1/4 cup + the 2 tablespoons 

of sugar and cinnamon together.

 

Sprinkle half of the cinnamon/sugar 

mixture over the apples.

 

Combine the butter and 1 

cup of the remaining sugar.

 

Add the eggs.

 

Then the flour.

 

Spread flour mixture over the 

apples then sprinkle with remaining 

cinnamon/sugar mixture.

 

Bake!

 

Serve with ice cream or 

caramel sauce or both!

Super Simple Blackberry Cobbler

I think a cherry or berry pie is one of my all time favorite desserts. And a simple version of either one of those is even better! And I love a good cobbler crust. I've always called this particular kind of crust a "pour crust" because you, well, you pour it over the fruit. This cobbler would work well with almost any kind of fruit. I used frozen blackberries but peaches would be scrumptious, too. Give it a try for a quick and easy weeknight dessert.

Super Simple Blackberry Cobbler



1 cup flour
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup heavy cream
3 cups fresh or frozen blackberries
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 tablespoon sugar


Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray an 8x8 inch pan with cooking spray.

In a bowl, mix together the flour, 1/2 cup of sugar, baking powder, salt, milk, melted butter, and cream until smooth.

In a medium bowl, mix berries with 1/4 cup of sugar.

Spread the blackberries into your prepared pan.

Spread batter on top of berries. Sprinkle the top of the batter with the nutmeg and 1 tablespoon of sugar.

Bake until the top is lightly browned, about an hour.

Allow to cool before serving. Serve with ice cream or sweetened whipped cream.

The cast of characters.

Sprinkle the berries with 1/4 cup 

of sugar and spread in the bottom

of your prepared pan.

Mix the melted butter, flour, 1/2 cup 

sugar, baking powder, milk and cream 

in a bowl and whisk.

Pour the batter over the berries in the pan.

Then bake!

Then eat!!! Serve with ice cream 

or sweetened whipped cream.

Peach Cobbler

IT Guy and I were in AZ a while ago and one thing I did when I was there, was to do through all of my mother-in-law's recipes. For someone who's not a big fan of cooking, she sure had a LOT. It was so fun to see the recipes she'd cut out of magazines and newspapers....to see what appealed to her. But the one thing I enjoyed the most, was seeing the recipes she had hand written or typed out because I knew they must have been extra special for her to take the time to do that. Here's one that I knew I wanted to try the minute I saw it. Peach cobbler....because who doesn't love that, right?
