Peach Pandowdy or Cobbler

I need to put a disclaimer on this recipe. It seems this homemade peach cobbler recipe is more of a pandowdy than a cobbler.

This was front page pastry news to me that I discovered when Google searching cobblers.

Technically, a cobbler crust has a biscuit or cake like texture. Pandowdies have more of a pie crust or pastry texture to there crust.

This cobbler’s crust is much like a pie crust, so maybe I should call this “Simple 4 Ingredient Peach Pandowdy”? However, since cobbler pulls up much better in a Google search, this is going to be a cobbler.

Ripen Peaches Quickly For Peach Cobbler Recipes

You’re so excited about making this 4 ingredient peach cobbler with fresh peaches.  You can’t wait for your taste buds to experience this mouth watering, finger-licking good peach cobbler.  However, reality cold cocks you in the face when you realize your peaches aren’t ripe enough to bake your recipe for peach cobbler.  Oh no, the agony and dissappointment you feel. 

So, when life throws you unripe peaches, don’t bake out in a cold sweat.  No, cut corners and ripen those peaches quickly. 

Forget Mother Nature’s 4 or 5 day ripening process.  Here’s how to amp up the ripening speed to 1 or 2 days.

• Place your peaches in a brown paper bag (not plastic) with a banana.  Fold the top of the bag over and seal it (tape or a rubber band will work just fine).  The banana releases ethylene, which causes the peaches to ripen quickly.  
• Place a shallow bowl of peaches in direct sunlight.  Heat helps to ripen fruit quickly.  However, make sure they don’t get overheated or they will start to bake.  
• Place the peaches in a brown paper bag with a banana and place the bag in a warm sunny spot.

The speed of any of these ripening options depends on how ripe the peaches were to begin with.  To be safe, check your peaches every 4 to 6 hours to make sure they are not getting to ripe.

Should You peel peaches for a cobbler?

If you really detest peach skins, you can peel your peaches; however, there’s no need to peel. The peach skins melt right into the cobbler filling and you can’t even tell it’s there. Plus, the skins give the cobbler a deeper flavor.
