Sweet Chilton County peaches and a golden crunchy topping bake into summer’s best dessert—warm, bubbly, and loaded with Southern charm.

When the Alabama heat is blazing, there’s nothing better to me than a bubbling dish of Southern peach cobbler fresh out of the oven. It’s a recipe that’s been passed down and perfected across countless Southern kitchens, but when I’m craving the true classic, I always come back to a version of Paula Deen’s iconic recipe.
