National Peach Cobbler Day is being celebrated today, April 13th. This delicious dessert has been around for centuries and is enjoyed by people all over the world.

Peach cobbler is a type of fruit crisp or fruit crumble that typically consists of fresh peaches (or other fruit) mixed with sugar, flour, butter, and spices, which are topped with a biscuit-like dough and baked until golden brown and bubbling.

There are many different recipes for peach cobbler, but the basic ingredients are always the same. The peaches are cooked until they are soft and then mixed with the other ingredients to form a thick batter. 

Peach cobbler is often served with ice cream or whipped cream, and it can also be made ahead of time and reheated when you’re ready to serve it.

The Story Behind Peach Cobbler

Peach cobbler is thought to have originated from British American colonies. They were unable to create traditional puddings due to a lack of suitable ingredients and cooking equipment. What they did instead is they covered a stewed filling with a layer of uncooked biscuit-like dough fitted together.

Today, peach cobbler is enjoyed by people all over the world. It’s a popular dessert in the United States, especially during the summer months when fresh peaches are in season. And while there are many different recipes for this snack, peach cobbler always brings people together to enjoy a sweet and delicious treat.

History of National Peach Cobbler Day

Started by Georgia  Peach Council in the 1950s, National Peach Cobbler Day is always celebrated on April 13th.

Whilst the Georgia Peach Council wants everyone to make their own peach cobbler using fresh, local peaches, National Peach Cobbler Day was originally created to promote the sale of canned peaches.

Since its inception, more and more people are discovering this delicious holiday. So whether you make your peach cobbler from scratch or buy it pre-made, be sure to enjoy a slice (or two) on National Peach Cobbler Day!
