You start by selecting the ripest, juiciest yellow peaches. Yellow peaches are your go-to because they hold their flavor well when baked, unlike the more delicate white peaches. Give them a quick bath in boiling water, and their skins will slide right off, making for a smoother eating experience. But hey, if you’re all about that texture, feel free to leave the skins on.

The filling is where the magic starts. You let the peaches get cozy with sugar, tapioca, a splash of lemon, and a hint of vanilla. The tapioca acts like a little wizard, thickening the fruit juices into a syrupy heaven. This filling doesn’t just lay at the bottom of the dish; it infuses its summery magic throughout the cobbler.

Now, the topping! Oh boy, this is where the dish gets its rustic, homey feel. A blend of flour, sugar, and a pinch of nutmeg gets cut with butter to form little nuggets of joy. You can’t forget the heavy cream—it brings the topping together and adds a bit of rich decadence. As it bakes, the topping turns into golden crumbles, adding a delightful crunch against the soft, juicy peaches.

So, as the cobbler bakes, your kitchen fills with the aroma of summer. And when you finally take that first bite? It’s like a sunny day in your mouth—a day that includes peaches falling from trees, a slight breeze, and the undeniable joy of summer. Trust us, once you taste this Sunny Peach Cobbler, you’ll want to make it a summer tradition. Enjoy!
