This cobbler has an unusual crispy topping which is created by pouring hot water over a batter that has been topped with sugar. The sugar is caramelized as it bakes forming this amazing crispy topping.
You can prep this Southern-style peach cobbler in about 15 minutes thanks to a short ingredient list. It takes even less time if you leave the skins on the peaches.
Some fruit cobblers use cornstarch or flour as a thickener.However, in this recipe, the peaches cook down and release some of the peach juices but most of the liquid is absorbed into the topping.
