Prepared with fresh peaches, this dessert is out of this world. I was raised in Oklahoma, and we used Elberta peaches right off our trees when we made this outstanding cobbler. —Virginia Crowell, Lyons, Oregon

I liked the fact that it was small. As for the recipe, I cut the water in half and used half white @ half brow sugar with the peaches. I wild have liked the top to have been more crisp.

Wow. What a total disaster! nothing but, SOUP! Followed the recipe to a T !! Maybe it's the 2 Cups of water?!!!! I don't know - this was gawd awful :( what a waste of great peaches!!

Luckily I read the the reviews about excess juice from the sauce, so I doubled recipe but only used half the sauce. It came out perfect! Plus it was delish with a scoop of Blue Bunny Ice Creme!

I was so worried when I saw how liquidy mixture was but followed directions as specified. Though I substituted milk for vanilla almond milk. I read through prior reviews and did put a pan under bc it does boil over. I cooked it 400 for 40mins and all the liquid became a very thick sauce/syrup. It's SO good tastes like a bakery made this item. Not too sweet, peaches soaked up all the good flavor, sauce thickened/reduced to jelly like consistency. Next time I think I will cook 35 mins or lower heat bc breaking cooked slightly harder then I prefer. Also I made to small carafes from same batch so I'd have testers. They came out perfect cooked along side of larger pan.

I triple checked to make sure I followed this recipe correctly but still can't understand why it was so bad, we couldn't eat it. I ended up with overflowing mess in my oven then an ugly,greyish,gooey sauce with very little edible dough on top. What really hurt was losing 3 cups of beautiful fresh peaches.

Peaches are in season and I just made this recipe. It is a very easy recipe to follow and to make. End result...awesome! I certainly will be making again and highly recommend this recipe!

I just finished eating 2 small bowls (fresh out of the oven!) and my oh my was it tasty. Although I didn't follow the recipe to a T. I had to use bread flour because I was out of all-purpose (crazy, I know). I also used brown sugar instead of white. I used 3 fresh peaches, peeled/sliced and added 3/4 cup of fresh blueberries. Upon reading the reviews I decided to go with my own topping recipe.... I used a half stick of butter, 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a splash of milk. It made a saucy caramel. I drizzled half of it over the batter and baked it at 400 for appx. 30 min. Until the top was browned and I could stick a toothpick in and not have any batter on it. VERY VERY GOOD. If you follow the actual recipe and it ends up saucy, I would blame the 2 cups of water. Try cutting that back. You have to remember that the fruit will release it's own natural juices as well.

It was good but soupy. Next time I think I'll add a little tapioca to soak up the sauce.

Made this for Thanksgiving, used frozen peaches. It came out "saucy" but very flavorful, and my 85-year old mom says this recipe is a keeper. Next time I'll use partially thawed peaches and less water.

Am making again tomorrow! I didn't have enough room in the baking dish for all the sauce which I think worked out better, was a thick bread-pudding like texture instead of too saucy like some are saying. When you put this in the oven it doesn't seem like it will come out well but it was perfect and very tasty. Will keep this forever!

Loved this cobbler with lots of sauce. I would warn however that there is a lot of liquid and you need to use either a dish with higher sides or put a pan underneither because it does spill over.

When I closed the oven door on this concoction I was pretty sure I had wasted some nice ingredients. Forty-five minutes later, I opened the door to one of the best peach cobblers I have ever had. The top was crisp, there was plenty of sauce, the peaches cooked perfectly. Highly recommend this recipe.

Excellent peach cobbler and the recipe was so easy. Will try it with blueberries or blackberries next time!!!

This turned out for me more like a coffeecake than a cobbler. It set solid after baking-but I will make this again. I combined 2 cups flour, 1 cup sugar, 4 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, added 1 cup milk & folded in 6 cups sliced (not peeled) fresh peaches. Put this in a 9X13 glass dish. Then I made the topping in a saucepan using 2 cups of water, 1/2 cup white sugar, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 2 Tablespoons butter, 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg & 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Brought this to a boil, stirring until sugars dissolved. Poured over the top. Baked at 400 for 40-50 minutes.

The flavor was very good, however, it was so saucy that it made me think it was not done. I think I'd cut in half the topping mixture.

This is the recipe I will use for all cobblers from now on! I had my doubts when I placed the wet, gooey mess in the oven that 2 cups of liquid would ever soak in. This is the best cobbler I've ever had .... and I even replaced both the white and brown sugars with Splenda.

I was looking for a recipe to use up a few peaches. I just had to try this one. It is delicious. I thought the process was kind of crazy, but it certainly works great. Think I'll invite the neighbors for dessert. Be sure to put a rimmed cookie sheet under the dish while baking. It did run over in the oven.

Sharon - I'd love to try this recipe as you and a few others rated it quite highly.  However there are a few that really gave it a super bad rating.  My philosophy is "cook once and eat twice".  I, too, like to double and triple recipes and place the extra in the freezer for times when I have nothing prepared for a meal.  You tripled the recipe for 2 9x13 pans. This is something I'd do also.  Did you make any other alterations other than boiling the liquid a bit? I am anxious to try this, but would like to hear from you first.  Thanks so much.

We don't like really sweet deserts. Do you think this would work without the topping?

Excellent! Goes really good with a little half&half. I had really sweet South Carolina peaches so I cut the sugar and brown sugar and water in half. Also deleted the nutmeg and cinnamon. We like a lot of crust so next batch plan to double the flour mixture. Easy to make and just a wonderful cobbler. Definitely a keeper!

I tripled the recipe and used two 9x13 glass pans. I also let the liquid boil for a few minutes which I think contributed to thickening. I like to freeze individual portions. I was a bit concerned when pouring the liquid on top because it seemed like it was too much, but it worked out well. I like the way it bakes into a mixture of cake and sauce. The flavor of nutmeg and cinnamon is wonderful. I've tried many peach cobbler recipes and this will not be my favorite. Yummy!!

OMG!! The best, easiest, and tastiest peach cobbler I've ever made. If you have sweet peaches, nothing more is needed outside of the listed ingredients. Thank you!

This recipe has too many flaws, needs more sugar; some flour for thickening; and re-evaluate the amount of water...I doubled the ingredients which was a big mistake also.
