NATIONAL PEACH COBBLER DAY
National Peach Cobbler Day on April 13th each year recognizes a delicious dessert that originated during the 19th century.
Unable to make traditional suet puddings due to lack of suitable ingredients and cooking equipment, the settlers instead covered a stewed filling with a layer of uncooked plain biscuits or dumplings, fitted together. When the dish is fully cooked, the surface has the appearance of a cobbled street. The name may also derive from the fact that the ingredients are “cobbled” together. Some cobbler recipes resemble a thick-crusted, deep-dish pie with both top and bottom crust.
In 2007, the world’s largest peach cobbler was made at the Georgia Peach Festival. It consisted of:
- 90 lbs of butter
- 150 lbs of sugar
- 150 lbs of flour
- 32 gallons of milk
- 75 gallons of peaches
HOW TO OBSERVE #NationalPeachCobblerDay
- Make some homemade peach cobbler. What’s nice is it can be made from fresh, frozen, or canned peaches and still taste amazing!
- Here are a few recipes to try:
When I was still blessed to live in the Peach State, peach cobbler was my favorite dessert and the ever abundant "meat and three" luncheon sites.

This is a day I can get on board with.
A little late, but hot peach cobbler with a scoop of homemade vanilla ice cream on top, is pretty much....Heaven!
Cooks, What is your best peach cobbler recipe?
I drove thru Johnston, SC this week and peach trees in bloom.
