Ingredients

  • 6 to 7 peaches, peeled and sliced*
  • 1/4 cup Pie Filling Enhancer,** optional
  • *Don't have fresh peaches? Frozen are fine; or use two large (31-ounce) cans sliced peaches, drained
  • **Pie Filling Enhancer yields a slightly thicker, less "juicy" filling.

Topping

  • 4 cups soft white bread cubes
  • 2/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup melted butter*
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt*
  • *Omit the salt if you use salted butter.

Directions

see this recipe's blog »

1) Preheat the oven to 350°F.

2) Toss the peaches with the Pie Filling Enhancer. If the slices are large, chop them up a bit. Spread them in a 9" pie pan that's at least 1 1/2" deep.

3) Top the peaches with the bread cubes, pressing them down gently.

4) In a small bowl, whisk together the sugars, flour, egg, butter, and salt.

5) Drizzle the syrup over the bread cubes.

6) Bake the cobbler for 35 to 40 minutes, till the bread is a deep, golden brown, and the filling is bubbly.

7) Remove the cobbler from the oven, and wait about 30 minutes before serving, for the filling to set. Cobbler is equally good served warm, or at room temperature. Ice cream or whipped cream are always welcome.

Yield: 8 to 10 servings.

  • Just thought I would share with everyone my experience making this wonderful recipe using store bought Cinnamon Bread. I replaced the regular soft white bread cubes with cubes of cinnamon bread. WOW!!!! The cinnamon really added a nice touch to the cobbler. I will definitely use cinnamon bread from now on, but I will eliminate the 1/4 cup of sugar since the cinnamon bread has sugar in it and I might even cut the brown sugar down to a 1/2 cup as my family prefers things a little less sweet especially when serving this over ice cream, too!! This is a definite "keeper-recipe" and wonderful for using canned peaches when fresh ones aren't in season. As always, thank you KAF!!!

  • I can never make this again because I almost ate the whole plate myself. I had peaches from my tree this morning which were just about ripe, so I didn't use any ClearJel. Instead, I sprinkled a bit of Peach Schnapps on the peaches before adding the bread cubes and sugar/butter mixture, just to make sure there would be enough juice. This is the best and easiest cobbler I've ever made. Definitely a keeper.

  • How will substituting white whole wheat flour affect the recipe? And, what about increasing amounts for a crowd, 9 X 13 inch pan? Thanks,
    The whole wheat flour will give a little drier texture to the cobbler and it will have a nuttier flavor. You can double the recipe for the 9 x 13 pan. ~Amy

  • As the only male in our office, there was a little skepticism when I sat this down in the break room. The next thing I heard (from an experienced baker) was, "That was the best peach cobbler I have ever eaten. I don't think I took a breath until it was gone!" I printed a stack of recipe copies, and those disappeared just as quickly as the cobbler.

  • I read the recipe and decided to make some classic KAF white bread with WWW flour, so I could use that for the topping. I used flour for thickening, just guesstimated on amount. I also used the suggestion of tossing the bread cubes with the syrup. I think next time I'd follow the original recipe directions for that part. Grated some fresh nutmeg on top...excellent results! Totally ruined my diet! In the past I have preferred the biscuit topping method, but found that biscuit tends to soak up too much of the juice from the filling. I don't care what you call this, it's a keeper! Next time I'll try it with apples.

  • This is so easy and good! I used ClearJel instead of the Pie Filling Enhancer which worked fine. Yummy with ice cream.

  • Wonderful! I added a teaspoon of your delicious vanilla extract to the glaze. Didn't have the pie enhancer product, but used lemon juice with tapioca flour and superfine sugar as a replacement. This is an excellent recipe for summer peaches.

  • Delicious! I didn't have any Pie Filling Enhancer so substituted a little flour and sugar. The topping was wonderful - a crispy, buttery, caramel flavored "cobbler". Thanks KAF for a new way to enjoy summer peaches.
