My family didn’t have much money while I was growing up. My dad was a used car salesman (insert joke here) and my mom was a secretary, They worked hard and loved us but there wasn’t a lot of extra.
One thing was guaranteed, though. Every summer we were going somewhere in our pop up trailer. Myrtle Beach, SC. Gatlinburg, TN. Black Mountain, NC. We saw it all!
Our family had a great time in that pop up trailer, especially when my mom got to laughing around bedtime. We never knew what would set her off but she’d start chortling and giggling like a school girl until she was rattling and shaking that trailer!
Best memories of childhood ever. Pure bliss.
After a busy week of fun in the sun we’d head back home and stop off at one of those fruit stands that are prevalent near the beach. Fresh peaches with juice that dribbled down my chin were coming home with us as a little reminder of summer fun.
Now I’m giving you my favorite peach dessert recipe to create your own sweet memories of summertime.
A no fail, scrumptious, please make us another one, Mom, kinda recipe.

Bake for 1 hour until top is golden brown and crust is a bit crispy.
Even with canned peaches this easy peach cobbler recipe has the best flavor! Spoon some vanilla ice cream on top and add a touch of cinnamon if you wish!
Tips for preparing peach desserts
- The self-rising flour may be replaced by the same amount of all purpose flour plus 2 tsp baking soda and 1/2 tsp salt.
- Substitutes include swapping margarine or unsalted butter for regular butter.
- I used a pie plate but a square baking pan would work as well.
- Could easily double this recipe for a 9×13 dish.
- I especially like a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped topping on top!
- I used canned peaches for this recipe and drained them before adding. If using frozen fruit thaw and then drain before adding.
- If you use fresh peaches peel before using. If they don’t seem sweet enough sprinkle a bit of sugar on the top before adding to this old fashioned peach cobbler recipe.

This sounds like a recipe my Mom used to make. I got some frozen peaches on my last grocery pickup and have a crockpot cobbler to try.
Hi, Rosemary. I have to eat more healthy these days but I do love an easy dessert! Thanks for sharing!
Hi Marty! Love your family vacation story about going to the beach!! We had a pop-up trailer and I still remember the mosquito netting sides and lying in bed bundled in my sleeping bag and listening to the crickets and seeing stars above the pine trees… Camping has been a HUGE part of my life and thankfully my husband and I took our kids out camping a lot with Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, then the 3 1/2 years we lived in our two trailers… That was up to a year ago when we bought our Texas home. <3 Oh, and the pie? Yes!!! Looks delicious and perfect to go along with a good story… 😉 And peach season is coming soon… :)'
Happy spring to you! Stay well,
Barb 🙂
Hi, Barbara. Aren’t childhood vacation memories the best? Loved our pop-up trailer but it was definitely a tight space at times, especially when it rained!
This looks so good! We used to go RVing as a kid too. We went all over NC where my parents are from. Thanks for sharing your memories!
I think I’ve mentioned this, Kim, but my maiden name is Purvis. Where is your husband from? We have Purvis relatives all over NC!
His family is from south GA. I get asked about the Purvis name all the time. So many Purvis’ out there. They have to be all related. My Family is Ivey, Millers & Currins all from NC.
There are definitely lots of Purvises around! I always wanted a more “normal” name when I got married and I got it!
Oh my goodness, I don’t know what I enjoyed more, your beautiful memories or this yummilicious peach cobbler recipe. I can’t wait to try it
That’s so sweet, Michelle. I hope you enjoy the recipe!
Can’t wait to give this a try! Looks yummy!
Hope you enjoy it, Lori!
Looks wonderful, going to make it for dinner tonight. Thank you!
Hey, Jane. How did the cobbler turn out?
This was a fail! I used a 9” high side pie pan. After the first five minutes I knew there would be a problem! The flour, sugar mixture started to rise and all of the buttery mixture oozed out! What a mess!
Looks yummy! I love making cobblers.
Looks so good and easy. Love easy!
