For the past three years, my husband and I have attended a DIY conference in Atlanta. On our drive home from Georgia we always stop at Lane Southern Orchards to buy a box or two of peaches. I say a box… it’s like a massive box full of 50+ peaches. Maybe even more? And then once we get home its peach-a-palooza until we are all out of peaches. We also give our parents a few peaches to enjoy. One thing that my husband’s boss always request is peach cobbler. Its kind of a given now that when we come home from Georgia a peach cobbler will follow.
Yes, I love to make skillet peach cobbler, but when I have to make peach cobbler for his boss (and for us or if I’m bringing it for dessert) I tend to make it the traditional way in a pan. I haven’t reinvented the wheel–instead I’ve tested all sorts of recipes that call home to the web. Overall, I enjoy the recipe from Southern Living the best. I also typically double the recipe and cut the butter in half. Gasp! I know… cut the butter in half? To be honest I’ve never seen a difference in my cobbler with it only baking with half the butter required in the recipe. The next time your at the store, buy a few extra peaches and make this traditional peach cobbler recipe! Trust me, your friends and family will thank you.

Just a quick note to let you know that I made your recipe this weekend, it was a hit.
