Here’s the printable recipe from my “1950s Peach Cobbler” video that was recently published on YouTube. The cobbler is delicious any time of the year. I make it just as my maternal grandmother did — with canned peaches!
In case you missed it, here’s the video how-to for this golden dessert that our grandmothers (and great-grandmothers!) routinely made in the 1950s. Also included in the video recipe are some memories of my own grandmother, Margaret Thelma DuVaul. I hope you enjoy the episode!
If you love poodle skirts, Elvis Presley, and “I Love Lucy,” then you will probably adore this 1950s Peach Cobbler. Wash it down with a pot of freshly-percolated Folger’s, okay?

Hi Mary B – Thanks for drawing my attention to the missing printable recipe. All fixed now — enjoy!!!
MaryB says
Thank you, Kevin! This is a good old recipe, and I’ve enjoyed the cobbler many times at various “dinner on the ground” events. 🙂

I LOVE this recipe!!! I’d forgotten about it…how??? Thank you!
Patricia Mersman says
I’d like to make this using fresh peaches now and home-canned ones later. Please tell me quantities to fit the recipe. Sounds delicious, by the way.
Kevin Lee Jacobs says
Hi Patricia – I’d use approximately 4 cups of fresh, sliced peaches. Toss the slices with a little sugar to replicate the canned version. Let me know how the cobbler works out for you!

Hey Kevin can you take the drain juice of the peaches and use half peach juice and half milk.
Kevin Lee Jacobs says
Hi Felicia – Your half-milk, half-juice idea might work out deliciously. Do let me know!
Hana says
Wow! Super easy to make and the payoff is incredible. Love this treat!
