Peach cobbler is a Southern favorite when it comes to desserts! If you have a few fresh peaches, you can make this amazing dessert in about an hour. I like making peach cobbler with fresh peaches because I grew up seeing my mom cook with only fresh ingredients. You can use canned or frozen peaches, but fresh is best. I think what makes this cobbler completely amazing is the crust on top. It's perfection because of the cinnamon sugar that is sprinkled on top before it's placed in the oven. Hope you're as peachy keen on this recipe as I am! Enjoy!
