    Old-Fashioned Southern Peach Cobbler

    Juicy peaches topped with a lattice pie crust come together in this Old-Fashioned Southern Peach Cobbler recipe.

    Peach stands popping up on the side of the road is a sure sign of summer in Texas. A chance to sell travelers a taste of the Hill Country summer. A few summers ago, I too, sold Texas peaches.

    Part of my job consisted of quality control. We would have to slice up a few peaches from each bushel to make sure they were juicy, sweet, and not mealy. The girls there quickly taught me how to pick the best peaches. Every morning we sought out those peaches. They were the ones you wouldn’t normally pick out at the grocery store for fear they wouldn’t make it down the checkout line. Peaches as close to being overripe as you could find. Soft and if you bumped them they probably would lose some skin. But let me tell you, the flavor and succulence of those peaches was incredible, like nothing I had ever experienced before. Sometimes I miss that summer job.

    Peach Cobbler

    Last week when I saw peaches on sale for 77 cents a pound I felt obligated to fill up a bag. Somehow, I forgot that my other half does not like peaches. As the week got busier, the peaches grew riper, leaving me with no other choice but to make a peach cobbler. The first ever dessert recipe published on My Texas Kitchen.

    Healthier Recipe Modifications

    I made some modifications to reduce the overall calories of the cobbler. The amount of sugar was cut and I opted for a single crust cobbler, rather than a double. What you get is an old-fashioned peach cobbler with fewer calories and sugar.

    Roll the crust out nice and thin if you like it crisper. If you like it soft, roll it a little thicker. I had a little bit of dough left over from one pie crust.
