Peach cobbler is a popular southern dessert. My version is loaded with sweet peaches and tart raspberries then topped with a sweet, buttery cake-like topping. 

On Monday I posted a tutorial on how to slice peaches and promised you a peach cobber recipe. I had a request from a reader to post a peach cobbler recipe with measurements by weight as well as cups. I know it’s frustrating for many readers not having the conversions for each recipe and maybe one day, I can offer that on all my recipes. Until then, Aletta, this cobbler recipe’s for you.

My husband’s not a big fan of biscuit type toppings on cobblers, so I looked for a recipe that had a more cake like top. This recipe is adapted from a highly rated Paula Dean recipe on the Food Network. My husband raved about it too.

I made quite a few changes, including reducing the butter and sugar. I added raspberries, to add a little tartness to the sweet peach filling, and crowned it with some turbinado sugar so the top would also have a little crunch. Of course I had to serve it ala mode. I love the creamy ice cream melting in to the hot fruit. So good!
