Living in Georgia, I always get requests for a Peach Cobbler recipe. It makes sense, after all, we do have the sweetest peaches. We are also home to the World’s Largest Peach Cobbler. Every June, in Peach County, Georgia, we host the Georgia Peach Festival. Like other festivals, we have vendors, good music, fireworks at night and on the second Saturday of the event-Peach Cobbler.

Worlds Largest Peach Cobbler Gerogia Peach Festival

Not just any cobbler, it measures 11 feet by 5 feet, cooked in a specially made outdoor oven just to bake the cobbler each year. It takes 75 pounds of peaches, 150 pounds of flour, 150 pounds of sugar, 32 gallons of milk and 90 pounds of butter. People come from near and far to sample the cobbler.

Serving the Worlds Largest Peach Cobbler

At 2:00 pm, the line for a taste will stretch 2-3 blocks. As you can imagine, you can’t use just a serving spoon or standard kitchen bowls to make and serve the cobbler. Five gallon buckets and boat paddles are involved.

The line is worth the wait.

Now since most of us don’t need a Peach Cobbler that will feed thousands, I picked up a few peaches provided by our local growers Lane Southern Orchards and Pearson Farms.

Fresh from the trees, full of sweet flavor and lots of juice. Nothing is better than a Georgia peach, seriously.

Sliced Peaches

Creating a cobbler, takes just a few minutes. peel and slice those peaches, melt your butter, combine the flour and sugar with milk then into your casserole dish and bake.

The peaches sink to the bottom. The butter works its way to the top, creating a crispy crust. Pure magic.

  3. Place butter in a 9 x 13 inch baking dish. Place in preheated 350 degree oven for about 2 minutes, until butter is melted. Remove from oven. Pour batter into baking dish, on top of melted butter. Pour peaches and syrup into center of dish, no need to spread them.

    We to live in Ga. but the peach crop in our area got hit by the cold spell we had in spring so no peaches in this area, need to go a little south of here i guess ..This looks so awesome so i guess i will just go and buy enough peaches to make this one, can’t go a summer without some peaches that’s for sure. Thank you for sharing and have a blessed day 🙂

    We make this only we call it “crazy crust cobbler” and they are so easy to do. I also make them sugar free.

      When you make it sugar free, what do you use as a substitute for the sugar, are you using Stevia or an agave syrup? I’d love to make one sugar free for diabetic friends.

    I used to make this cobbler and haven’t made it in a long time…forgot how good it is…so must make it soon. Thanks for reminding me of it again…although yours looks better than the one I used to make and I’m sure it is. Wish I still lived in Georgia where I was raised so I could get some of those Georgia raised peaches to go in your cobbler. Thanks again, Precious.

      Simple is always the best! Hopefully this time of year, you’ll be able to find some fresh Georgia peaches in your local market. Nothing beats a sweet Georgia Peach!
