Tried & True Simple Cobbler

Desserts have always been one of my favorite things—probably a little too favorite, if I’m honest. I could easily polish off an entire cobbler by myself. I don’t, though—I’ve been trying to make healthier choices lately. But every now and then, I treat myself. I usually pay for it later, but honestly, it’s totally worth it.

I grew up in Georgia, as I’ve mentioned here and on social media before. Peaches are a big deal there, especially in season when they’re everywhere. And cobbler—no matter what fruit you use—is pretty much a staple. I mean, it’s fruit baked into something like a sweet, soft cake. What’s not to love?

I’ve looked up plenty of cobbler recipes over the years, but most are overly complicated and use a long list of ingredients. Personally, I prefer to keep things simple. In my opinion, less is more—especially in the kitchen. So today, I want to share a family recipe that’s been passed down for generations—from my great-grandmother, to my grandmother, to my mom, and now to me.

It’s simple, forgiving, and incredibly delicious. Best of all, it’s versatile—just about any fruit you’d use in a cobbler will work. I know for sure that peach and raspberry are amazing with this, but don’t be afraid to experiment.

So, let’s get into it:
