Fresh Peach Cobbler Recipe

Is anyone else going overboard like me and buying peaches like there's no tomorrow? This month I've bought 20lbs+ in the last few weeks and we've been eating them like crazy! Welcome to peach season!

They make the best smoothies, they are one of my favorite fruits for baking, and they're even excellent added to your main dish (like this Three Cheese Peach and Prosciutto Pizza with Basil, or this Balsamic Peach Chicken Skillet, and this Peach Salad with Grilled Basil Chicken).

But we all know one of the all time best uses for fresh peaches is peach cobbler, right? And not just any peach cobbler — THIS peach cobbler! I've made it three times already this summer, and we lick the pan every time!

What Makes this Old-Fashioned Peach Cobbler the Best?

I'm very particular about my peach cobbler. Maybe it's just personal preference, but I believe it shouldn't have a heavy, dense topping, it should have the perfect amount of sweetness and canned peaches should never be used.

You'll love that this has more flavor than you'll find in your traditional peach cobbler (hence why I've used buttermilk, a fair amount of real butter and vanilla extract) and there's no overpowering amounts of cinnamon used here - we want to taste the peach flavor.

And this recipe is made with a fluffy biscuit topping that's really more cake-like than it is biscuit-like. So it compliments the dense peaches better than a heavy biscuit topping would. Plus it doesn't end up soggy and uncooked like many cobblers do on that bottom layer of the topping. Instead of a heavy and soggy cobbler or the overly crunchy topping of an apple crisp, this recipe is perfectly soft.

Peeling is Worth the Extra Time for the Best Peach Cobbler Recipe

This may not be as easy as the version with canned peaches and a cake mix, but I'd still consider this an easy peach cobbler recipe. Nothing too difficult, it's still a straight forward, easy to make dessert.

It just takes a bit of time. As in it does take time to peel all those peaches, but the end result is so worth it! Besides it can seem therapeutic just taking time to breathe and peel peaches some days.

It really is the only peach cobbler recipe you'll ever need. It will easily become the highlight of any summer dinner, and you'll get requests to make it again, and again, and again!

Put your fresh peaches to good use and make this irresistible peach cobbler this week, you won't regret it!

Healthy Strawberry Mango Peach Smoothie

There's just something about this combination of fruits that works so well together, each one perfectly complementing the other. The bright flavors of the peach mango smoothie will leave you craving more all summer long!

Everyone in my family loved this healthy smoothie and it's one we'll make again and again. It doesn't get much easier than fruit smoothies, and they're a great way to pack fruit into your diet.

Normally I'm always adding Greek yogurt and almond milk to smoothies to make them more filling and creamy, but this time around I went with juice and I actually liked the juice version more than the yogurt/almond milk version. It gave it a nice natural sweetness and kept it fruity.

I love how this peach smoothie makes a tasty breakfast or a good midday snack. It's a great way to get some of that recommend daily fruit intake, smoothies are the best way for me to get my kids eat eat lots of fruit.

I love how smoothies taste like a treat but they are packed with vitamins and nutrients. In other words, I guess I should start skipping that after-dinner cake and opting for another smoothie instead!

Fruit Salsa with Baked Cinnamon Tortilla Chips

You know I'm all about the dips and salsas, especially when they involve something sweet. I'm totally in love!

I've always been a big fan of baked or fried sugar and cinnamon chips (I make these baked ones all the time), but I've actually never paired them with fruit salsa until now. But let me tell you, it is a match meant to be!

I adapted this recipe from Carrian and Kade Cheney's new cookbook, Our Sweet Basil Kitchen.

This is a wonderful cookbook filled with pretty pictures and more than 100 family-friendly recipes. There are so many recipes I cannot wait to try!

If you'd like to buy a copy for yourself, you can order the cookbook from Amazon. After trying this delicious fruit salsa, I'm excited to make more!

Fruit Salsa Recipe Ingredients

For the fresh fruit salsa, you'll need:

• Peach or nectarine
• Mango
• Kiwis
• Strawberries
• Strawberry jam or fruit preserves
• Fresh lemon juice or lime juice

Cinnamon Chips Ingredients

The cinnamon sugar chips are so easy to make! You'll need:

• Granulated sugar
• Cinnamon
• Flour tortillas
• Butter

How to Make Fruit Salsa and Cinnamon Chips

• To make the fruit dip, dice the fruit into bite-sized pieces and add to a bowl.
• Toss with the strawberry jam and lemon juice.
• To make the cinnamon tortilla chips, first stir together the cinnamon and sugar.
• Brush the flour tortillas with butter, then dust with homemade cinnamon sugar.
• Cut the tortillas into wedges and bake until golden brown.

Can I Use Corn Tortillas Instead of Flour?

Corn tortillas taste quite different and have different textures and mouthfeels. I recommend sticking with flour tortillas for this recipe.

Does Fruit Salsa Stay Fresh for Long?

This fresh fruit salad is best enjoyed within two hours of making it. The fruit will release more and more liquid the longer it sits, so I wouldn't recommend making this salsa too far in advance.

Can I Add Different Fruits to This Salsa?

Of course! You can use any fruits you want, although I personally think softer fruits are the best in this salsa (berries, stone fruits, etc). Raspberries and pineapple would be delicious!

Tips for the Best Fruit Salsa and Cinnamon Chips

• The cinnamon chips won't be fully crisp when you take them out of the oven. They need a few minutes to cool on the baking sheet to crisp up properly.
• Give this fruit dip a good stir before serving it, as the fruit juices will collect at the bottom of the bowl.
• Fresh, in-season fruit is best for this recipe. I don't recommend using frozen fruit here (too runny and mushy).

Fresh Peach Salad with Basil Grilled Chicken

While there's still about a month left of summer, it is just starting to feel like it's over. We had our last beach day today, so that's my goodbye to summer.

One thing I love about the end of every summer is the abundance of fresh peaches everywhere. I had two neighbors bring me a bag full of them and I also had bought a bunch of local ones at the store.

So we have been eating peaches in everything and drinking them in just about every smoothie for the last two weeks. And no one is complaining about that around here, we all absolutely love peaches! Who could resist them? They're sweet, juicy, and perfectly tender.

I just love biting into a freshly picked peach. The other thing I love (and if you've been reading for a while I'm sure you've caught on by now) is grilled chicken salads.

They are so versatile and you can add just about anything to them, and if we are going to go all out on a salad we may as well make it into a meal, right? Since it's peach season of course I had to do a peach salad recipe, and this one does not disappoint!

I can almost guarantee that, like me, you'll love everything about this peach and basil chicken salad! From the chicken marinated and infused with fresh garlic-basil flavor to the combination of fresh peaches, corn, and goat cheese, and of course how well it is all complemented by the white balsamic vinaigrette.

I could pretty much live on this peach salad! It might just become one of your favorite summer salads, just be sure to try it before summer is over!

Peach Crumb Cake

Crumb cake, coffee cake, no matter what you call this moist, streusel-topped dessert... it's delicious. Coffee cake has got to be one of the best desserts/breakfast treats. It pairs perfectly with tea or coffee, whether you eat it for breakfast, afternoon tea, or for dessert! Hey, you might even want to swap this for your standard birthday cake—it's that good.

If you are looking for the perfect end-of-summer dessert to treat yourself this is it! Those fresh, sweet, and juicy summer peaches make this cake simply sublime and all the different layers and textures just take it from ordinary to extraordinary. If you want even more summer dessert goodness, serve it with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream!

It may take a few more mixing bowls than a single-layer cake does, but it's totally worth it!  I already can't wait to make it again!

How to Make Peach Coffee Cake

This cake may seem like a process but it's simple and fun to make! Many of these steps are perfect for small hands, so you can make this cake with your kids for a yummy memory of quality time. Here's a quick breakdown of the steps:

1. Make the preheat the oven and grease a springform pan.
2. Prepare the crumble topping.
3. Make the cake batter, spread into prepared pan.
4. Top cake batter with a layer of peach slices.
5. Sprinkle crumb topping over peaches.
6. Bake, then remove and cool.

No more buying oatmeal packets with those artificial peaches. This oatmeal with real peaches and real cream is so much better that, likely, you'll never be able to return to the packets once you've tried this.

Peaches and Cream Oatmeal

I eat oatmeal about 5 out of 7 days, I often even eat it as my nighttime snack before bed. Yeah, I love oatmeal just that much. I never thought I'd say it, but it's true. My mom would always eat it every morning when I was little and I never would've thought that 15 years later I would be doing the same thing.  It's such a great breakfast, because it keeps me full until lunch and I can remix it for whatever I'm craving!

Of course, I never eat it plain—simply sweetened with sugar or as she did by adding half a stick of butter. I always add other flavors or fruits.  Some of my favorites include Banana Oatmeal, Brown Sugar Maple Oatmeal, and Peaches and Cream!

Easy Oatmeal Breakfast

I made this using canned peaches because that is what I had on hand, and also I like the texture of the canned peaches along with the texture of the oatmeal. I rarely use canned fruit, but trust me this is one recipe where it works perfectly!

You could also substitute diced fresh strawberries in place of the peaches for Strawberries and Cream Oatmeal, indeed another favorite of mine (I'd recommend adding the strawberries after cooking though, and omitting the cinnamon).

Indulge, just a little, with this heavenly Peaches and Cream Oatmeal.  Turn a drab breakfast into something exciting!
