Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Place peeled and sliced peaches in an 8x8-inch baking dish.
- Cut crusts from white bread and slice each piece into five fingers. Place bread over the fruit.
- Mix sugar, flour, beaten egg, vanilla, and melted margarine until well combined.
- Pour the mixture over the fruit and bread fingers in the baking dish.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, consider substituting half of the peaches with blueberries or cherries for added flavor. If you prefer, you can use butter instead of margarine. Ensure the bread is slightly stale to absorb the juices better. If you're short on time, pre-sliced peaches can be used, but fresh ones give the best flavor. This dessert is reminiscent of other American recipes, making it a comforting choice for gatherings.
Serving Suggestions
Serve warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for added indulgence. This peach cobbler pairs beautifully with Granny's Buttermilk Pie for a delightful dessert spread. It can also be enjoyed with a cup of coffee or tea for a cozy afternoon snack.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the cobbler in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15 minutes, or until warmed through. You can also reheat individual portions in the microwave for a quick treat.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen peaches instead of fresh?
Yes, you can use frozen peaches, but make sure to thaw and drain them before using to avoid excess moisture. This helps maintain the right texture in your cobbler. Adjust the sugar slightly if the frozen peaches are sweetened.
How can I make this recipe gluten-free?
To make a gluten-free version, substitute regular flour with a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend. Ensure that the bread you use is also gluten-free. This allows you to enjoy the same delicious flavors while accommodating dietary needs.
What if I don’t have white bread?
If you don't have white bread, you can substitute with another type of bread like brioche or challah, which will add a richer flavor. Just make sure to remove the crusts and cut it into similar sizes to maintain even cooking.
