    One of the best parts of summer is peach season. And one of the most delicious parts of peach season is Peach Cobbler. It’s hard to beat soft, sweet peaches peeking out between islands of biscuit dough sprinkled with cinnamon sugar! When summer temperatures make turning on the oven unappealing, 3- 2-1 Peach Cobbler, cooked in just one minute in the microwave, offers all the peachy pleasures of summer without the heat!

    3-2-1 Peach Cobbler

     When I was in 9th grade, my family moved from New York (via 2 years in Europe) to South Carolina. I had always thought that β€œculture shock” was something experienced in exotic, distant, foreign lands.

    However, in the 1970’s, before the internet made the world a much more homogeneous, small place, a New Yorker could definitely experience culture shock by moving to the South. And I did.

    I didn’t even speak the language. Not only was the accent different, (my New York accent was mixed with British influence at the time), but there were vocabulary differences to learn. Lights were β€œcut off” instead of β€œturned off”. Elevator buttons were β€œmashed”. Supermarkets provided β€œbuggies” not β€œshopping carts”.

    The food was different too. Bagels were only available in the freezer aisle, and the supermarket shelves were full of things I had never heard of.

    Currently, talented Southern chefs have put Southern cuisine on the foodie map. Foods that were once homey staples have been transformed into trendy menu items.

    Before our move to South Carolina, I had never experienced grits, okra, sweet tea, chow-chow, pimento cheese spread, or peach cobbler. With the notable exception of peach cobbler, I can’t say I ever developed a true appreciation for those Southern specialties.

    No offense at all intended to those who do relish all of Southern cooking. Perhaps, the enormity of my love for peach cobbler makes up for my lack of enthusiasm for the other food items.

    3-2-1 Peach Cobbler
    Though Georgia is called the peach state, South Carolina produces almost three times as many peaches as Georgia. The town my family moved to, Spartanburg, is located next to the numerous peach orchards of Gaffney, South Carolina.

    Gaffney is so rightfully proud of their peaches, that they built their water tower in the shape of a peach. Though some joke that The Peach resembles a rear end (it does from certain angles), it is quite impressive and a famous landmark.

    For years, my trips back to SC included heading to Gaffney to buy peaches. I think that the very best way to savor those SC peaches is straight from the tree, still warm from the sun and my favorite way to bake with those peaches is a Southern, biscuit dough peach cobbler.

    My Northern upbringing included crumbles, crisps, and brown betty, all made with fruit and a streusel topping. In the South, I discovered the wondrous flavor of cobblers. Recipes vary.

    Some cobbler recipes call for a more cake-like batter which rises around the fruit during baking. Other cobbler recipes use a biscuit dough dotted like clouds over the fruit.

    3-2-1 Peach Cobbler

    Traditionally, a cobbler is baked in the oven. 3-2-1 Peach Cobbler is cooked in the microwave, but is surprisingly similar in flavor and texture to the β€œreal thing”; sweet peaches covered in cinnamon sugar biscuit dough.

    The shelf stable ingredients can be kept on hand to create individual servings of cobbler any time of year in just one minute. Pop the ingredients and recipe in a care package for college students or military and ship the best of summer in a box.

    3-2-1 Peach Cobbler
    3-2-1 Peach Cobbler deviates from other 3-2-1 recipes that use the β€œMagic Mix” (one box flavored cake mix plus one box of angel food cake mix). In order for the cobbler to have biscuit dough, this recipe uses biscuit baking mix.

    Bisquick or Jiffy Mix combined with canned peach pie filling and sprinkled with cinnamon sugar, creates an instant cobbler without turning on the oven. If shelf stable ingredients are not required, sliced fresh fruit can be used. Canned peaches or fresh, 3-2-1 Peach Cobbler tastes like summer without adding any extra heat!

      So interesting, Wendy…I imagine that it would be quite a culture shock moving to the South from the North and vice versa. I am amazed that you can turn a peach cobbler into a 3-2-1 recipe. It makes it so accessible and a great way to have instant gratification. I love being able to pull a wonderful dessert “out of a hat”. This would be impressive.

        Thanks, Monica! Each area of the US is sooo different from the other and there are people who love each place and call it home. πŸ™‚ First, I tried this cobbler with regular 3-2-1 cake mix. It made peach cake. I was delighted when the Bisquick worked! It really does taste like Southern peach cobbler! πŸ™‚

      All these 3-2-1 recipes! You could write a cookbook! Peaches are one of the best things about summer! Sadly I haven’t had a chance to bake with them yet. These little cobblers looks absolutely delicious.

        Thanks, Reeni! 3-2-1 recipes are some of the most popular recipes on The Monday Box, so I keep creating more. πŸ™‚ This cobbler was actually a request from a reader. It is the first time I have used baking mix (Bisquick) in a 3-2-1 recipe, and it works!

      Agreed! Peach season is the best! And they are finally getting good by us – which means I’ve been buying a ridiculous amount lol

      “One of the best parts of summer is peach season.” – COULDN’T AGREE MORE! i spend most of the winter and spring thinking about when exactly the peaches will be ripe here; definitely one of those fruits i wish could be available year-round (but always with that special midsummer flavor.) I love peach cobbler, too: i’m a little upset/worried that i know how to make a single-serve peach cobbler so easy now, thanks to you. I shouldn’t know how to do this, TRUST me. πŸ™‚

        Its always disappointing to eat an out of season peach (or even a not-quite peach season peach)! You are dreaming of that drip-down-your-chin juicy sweet peach and get eh instead. Here’s the plan with the cobbler: Eat all of the wonderful peaches fresh now, then in the winter when nothing fresh is worth eating, make a little individual cobbler with canned peaches when ever you are feeling nostalgic for the summer. πŸ™‚

      Being a GRITS (girl raised in the south) myself – I adjusted to the southern ways but felt out of place when I moved to Colorado at the age of 18 and was relentlessly harassed about my accent. “Fixing to” – was not a common phrase in Denver – go figure πŸ™‚ Anyway I love peach cobbler, and yes I love grits too. Biscuits and gravy is the greatest invention ever and I feel sure I can loose an accent quicker than anybody I know! It comes back after a few drinks every now and then. Lovely post!

        Thanks, Tricia! Each area of the US is quite different from the others in so many ways. I went to elementary school in the North, High School in the South, and college in the Midwest, where I have lived most of my life. I feel lucky to have been able to choose the place I feel most comfortable. I would fully agree that biscuits are a great invention…but I prefer mine with butter. Obviously, 4 years in SC did NOT make me a GRITS! πŸ™‚ I think I may be your opposite when it comes to accents. I pick up accents where ever I go! People can never figure out where I am from. πŸ™‚
