Peach Cobbler

01 / ABOUT THE DISH

About the dish

One of the quintessential summer desserts, peach cobbler is a deep-dish fruit pie with a fragrant peach filling covered with a thick biscuit dough crust. This luscious dessert was invented by early American settlers in the 19th century, and was named after its rough appearance, as the pie looks cobbled together. Peach cobbler is best enjoyed warm and goes amazingly well with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. To honor this popular dessert, National Peach Cobbler Day is celebrated annually on April 13. There are also numerous summer peach festivals such as the Annual Louisiana Peach Festival in Ruston which became famous for entering the Guinness World Records in June 2015 by making the world's biggest peach cobbler.
