Peach Cobbler & Snickerdoodle Crust Recipe

The dessert of the summer [VIDEO BELOW]

This isn’t your grandma’s peach cobbler, but she’d definitely ask for the recipe.

Juicy, cinnamon kissed peaches baked under a soft, irresistible snickerdoodle cookie crust. It’s cozy, nostalgic, and just a little unexpected. Perfect for cookouts, holidays, or when you want something that tastes like summer and comfort in the same bite.

a few secrets:

a spoonful of strawberry or apricot preserves for depth, a splash of balsamic vinegar to balance the sweetness, and a quick taste of the filling before baking, because you don’t want to find out your peaches weren’t ripe enough when you’re about to dig in. It’s gooey, golden, and guaranteed to disappear fast.

Peach Cobbler with Snickerdoodle Crust Recipe

(For a 10–12 inch skillet or 9x13 casserole dish)

---

Filling:

• 8 medium ripe peaches or 4-5 cups sliced peaches (fresh or thawed frozen)

• 3/4 cup brown sugar

• 1 tbsp strawberry or apricot preserves (adds shine + concentrated fruit flavor)

• ¼ tsp balsamic vinegar

• 1½ tbsp cornstarch

• ½ tsp salt

• 1 tbsp lemon juice

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• ¼ cup unsalted melted butter

🔸 Optional wild card: Add a splash of bourbon or ½ tsp orange zest to the filling

Snickerdoodle Crust:

• 1 ½ cups (235g) all purpose flour

• ½ tsp baking soda

• ½ tsp cream of tartar

• ½ tsp salt

• ½ tsp cinnamon

• ½ cup unsalted butter, softened

• ½ cup brown sugar

• ¼ cup granulated sugar

• 2 eggs

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• ¼ cup crushed graham crackers

---

Cinnamon Sugar Topping:

• 2 tbsp sugar + 1 tsp cinnamon

• Optional: sprinkle of turbinado sugar for texture

---

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.

2. Peel, pit, and slice peaches into 1/2 - 1 inch thick slices

3. Mix in bowl with remaining filling ingredients. Let sit while you make the snickerdoodle.

4. Make cookie dough: Cream butter and sugars until fluffy. Add eggs + vanilla. Stir in dry ingredients + crushed graham crackers until soft dough forms.

5. Assemble in skillet:

   • Pour peaches and their juices into a buttered 10–12 inch skillet (or 9x13 baking dish)

     • Taste peach mixture before baking and adjust sweetness if necessary. Fruit ripeness can be fickle

   • Dot or gently press cookie dough across the top, some gaps are good. I like to do 1-2 inches apart

   • Sprinkle cinnamon sugar all over the top.

6. Bake 35–45 minutes, until top is golden and edges are bubbly. Let cool for at least 10 minutes.

More Ways to Make It Yours:

• Brown sugar + cream cheese swirl: Drop dollops of lightly sweetened cream cheese between the filling and the crust for a soft tangy surprise.

• Toasted pecans or candied nuts: Fold into the cookie dough or sprinkle over top for flare and texture.

• Add a spiced whipped cream: Make whipped cream with cinnamon + vanilla bean paste (or a touch of maple) instead of classic ice cream
