Tennessee Peach Pudding

Teresa Ambra

You’ve heard of Peach Cobblers–well, I give you Tennessee Peach Pudding! Yes, you heard that right. Pudding. This is one of those lovely desserts that you pour a watery syrup over the top and as it bakes it sinks down into the dessert making it mouthwateringly delicious. Spectacular is one word I’d use to describe this tasty pudding. It’s loaded with lots of luscious peaches, and each mouthful will surely satisfy any sugar craving.

When I first saw this recipe online, I read the reviews and they were all over the map. But since I’ve made lots of pudding desserts before where you pour a syrup over top of the batter I wasn’t afraid to give this one a try. The puddings don’t turn out soupy if you cook them long enough. Instead a rich, thick sauce is formed that permeates the whole dessert. I’m glad I didn’t listen to the naysayers about this recipe, because it really turned out terrific.

I was busy working 8-10 hour days last month trying to bake up peach desserts before all my peaches went bad. I made so many different kinds of recipes, but I gave the cobblers, cakes and pies to friends and John’s co-workers and stashed all the cookies and bars in the freezer so he can give them away as gifts every now and then. This is one of those desserts that got taken out to John’s work place for one of the departments to enjoy. I got emails back thanking me and telling me how much they enjoyed this marvelous peach-filled dessert.

If you’re looking for a fantastic peach dessert that tastes almost as great plain as it does ala mode or with whipped topping, then Tennessee Peach Pudding is for you. It’s not particularly difficult and the syrup that’s poured over top of the batter before the pudding is baked forms a nice crusty topping that tastes almost caramel-like once it’s done. Is it a pudding or is it a cobbler? I’ll let you be the judge.

This lovely dessert is featured on Country Living here.

    I am going to make this recipe this weekend for my family. It looks and sounds delicious! I can’t wait. I will report back. 😊

      Hi Heather. Yes, this is a terrific recipe. Hope everyone enjoys it.

    Will soon be making this recipe. I’m wondering if it could be prepared in advance without detriment? Would like to serve it warm but my time frame for company won’t allow me to do it. Thank you.

    1. Teresa

      July 5, 2021 at 7:59 am

      Hi Linda. You can make it a day in advance without problem. Or you can freeze it and then thaw before serving, but then it will be definitely not be warm. Enjoy.

      July 6, 2024 at 9:07 am

      Could canned peaches be used in place of fresh?

      1. Teresa Ambra

        July 7, 2024 at 8:06 pm

        Yes, but drain them first and pat dry the excess syrup and moisture.

  • Lindy

    August 21, 2020 at 1:26 pm

    Question…I am confused about the baking time between the filling and topping?
    So you prep the filling and bake the filling for 50 minutes or so then pour the topping on and bake for another 50 minutes?
    Cook time says 1 hour??

    Thanks!!

    Lindy

    1. Teresa

      August 21, 2020 at 3:07 pm

      Hi Lindy. Notice that you need to pour the topping over top of the filling before baking. Sorry for the confusion. Total baking time is about an hour.

    1. Teresa

      Hi, Lori, I’m sure this recipe would be terrific with apples. I’ve even made it with cherries before (with some adjustments).

      I just made this recipe with frozen strawberries ( all I had) I give it a 5 star rating.

        Glad to hear it works well with strawberries, Gail.

    I am getting ready to make this dish on this fine Sunday morning. I’m using frozen peaches in peach puree. I thawed the peaches, and now I am leftover with the puree that was on them.
    I was wondering if I could use the puree in the topping to add more peach flavor, or if it would hinder the formation and prevent that oh-so-delicious crisp topping from properly forming. I saw that people use the syrup in canned peaches in the topping, but I know pureed fruit would be likely to behave differently.
    Thank you in advance, for both the recipe and any tips/advice you may have.

    1. Teresa

      August 3, 2020 at 6:39 am

      Hi, Rynn. I think you could probably use some in the topping. Or use it in another recipe.

    Ok so I have to say I was SUUUPER scetch about dumping a bunch of sugar water on top… but I did it… and went with it… AND COUDLN’T STOP EATING IT! Omg. I’ve recommended this recipe to everyone I know. I’m going to make it again today in fact to take to a dinner party! My newest and most favorite recipe. I made it as written with no changes from fresh Colorado Palisade peaches. Tonight though… I don’t know if I’ll find ripe peaches in the grocery store so I might try frozen??? Hmmm we’ll see! Either way, this cobbler is almost as if a bread pudding and a peach cobbler had a baby. A yummy, yummy baby.

    1. Teresa

      September 20, 2019 at 8:37 pm

      Hi Adrienne. I’m so glad you gave the recipe a try. I have several recipes that have a sugar syrup poured over top before baking. It absorbs into the crust layer and it’s just amazing. I love the recipe too. I think you can use canned or frozen peaches with the recipe. This basic recipe works with almost any kind of fruit.

    1. Teresa

      Absolutely Susan. You can freeze before baking or bake and freeze with a layer of plastic wrap and foil. I bake desserts like this all the time and freeze them.

    Why would you show the dry ingredients needed for the pudding in liquid measuring cups? It confuses your readers who may be inexperienced/novice bakers which is why you’re being asked the milk or cream in topping questions in your comment section. Liquid and dry measuring cups are completely different, if you use liquid cups to measure dry or dry to measure liquid, your baking is doomed from the start.
    Also, FYI, bleached all purpose flour does not toughen baked goods. There is no difference between the two flours save for one not being bleached. Your baked goods will bake up the same using either flour if you measure/scale correctly.
    Add to that, not every country ( which you must know you have readers from ) has unbleached all purpose flour, all purpose or plain flour would be what the majority of consumers buy.

    1. Teresa

      July 8, 2019 at 11:57 am

      Hi, Jocelyn, thanks for your comments. I’ve used those same measuring cups for over 40 years. I have baked thousands of baked goods during that time span and no one has ever complained about anything I’ve ever made. In fact, I can’t remember one dessert that was ever doomed as a result. Regarding the chemical process that bleaching flour requires, it releases an agent called alloxan which causes diabetes in laboratory rats & mice. Some of the bleaching agents include peroxide and chlorine. I really don’t want those ingredients floating around in my body. While I have not seen any test results that indicate it yet, I wouldn’t be surprised if bleached flour contributes to gluten intolerance. Have a great week.

        August 26, 2019 at 8:40 pm

        Haha, wow, that person was extremely rude. For no reason. Anyway, can I use almond milk? Will that still work as good?

        1. Teresa

          August 27, 2019 at 1:19 pm

          Hi, Eve. I think you can use Almond milk, but may I recommend Califia Farms Almond Milk rather than Almond Breeze? I think you will find it a much better product.

Haha. I totally plan on making this dish (just tried a similar one and googled it) and just wanted to comment that I appreciate your active-ness on the comments and how knowledgeable you are. I love that you care about the ingredients going into a high fat indulgent dessert just like it was a healthy salad.

    Made this tonight and it turned out really good. My baking dish was too shallow to hold 3 cups of sauce so I only used 2. It still bubbled over but I had a cookie sheet under it. I also cut back a bit on the sugar because we don’t like overly sweet desserts but next time I’ll use the recipe amount. Thanks for a great recipe.

    1. Teresa

      Hi, Carol, so glad you enjoyed the recipe. You may try a roasting pan or something like that to bake it in if you don’t have a large baking dish like prescribed.

    Can this be baked 9-13 glass baking dish that is three inches deep without spilling over! Thank you

    1. Teresa

      November 14, 2018 at 12:05 pm

      Hi, Nancy. I’m pretty sure it can. Most pyrex dishes are only about two inches deep but if you have one deeper than that, you should be good to go. However, it it seems to fill your dish super full, you may want to place a cookie sheet underneath it while baking.

  • Joe

    July 19, 2018 at 9:13 pm

    I made this tonight and it came out perfect! A couple of things…I did not peel the peaches and it seems like the skins dissolved in the pudding. So my thoughts…don’t waste time peeling them. Actually, the good vitamins are in the skin…I think. The other thing…I want to kick this up a notch. Any thoughts? I am thinking about soaking the peaches in some brandy or the like. Anyone tried that. How about ground cloves instead of the nutmeg. I remember as a child my Mom always put some cloves in with the peaches she was canning. Any other thoughts on how to spice this up a bit? The recipe is GREAT and I love it…just looking for some more twists with it.

    1. Teresa

      July 20, 2018 at 10:17 am

      Hi, Joe. I love the idea of leaving the peels on the peaches! Great idea. I’ve never tried it before but I’m sure it’s fine. Okay, as far as kicking it up another notch, let me offer some suggestions. In the actual pudding, consider vanilla or almond extract or a liqueur of some kind like amaretto. Cloves and allspice will also work, but limit your amounts or they may overwhelm the cobbler. I think you could also bump up the topping in the same way – extracts, liqueur, cloves or allspice, but make your spice amounts small so you don’t overpower the dish (1/2 teaspoon or so). I personally don’t cook with alcohol at all, so I can’t tell you what brandy, rum, etc., would do to the taste or the consistency. You may have to cut down liquid from milk in proportion to whatever amount of brandy you choose to use so the pudding isn’t too watery. So glad you enjoyed the recipe and are willing to venture out and try to improve it. I hope you will let me know what your experiments turned out like.

    If I use canned peaches do I need to cut down on the sugar and how could I use the juice

    1. Teresa

      October 16, 2017 at 9:54 am

      Hi Mercy. Yes, you can use canned peaches. I would measure all the juice and enough water to get the total amount for water needed in the recipe for making the syrup. This will definitely be sweeter. I don’t think I’d decrease the sugar by more than 1/4 cup. Enjoy.

        I always have to ask in the hope the person putting the recipe on has tried or knows if gluten free flour would work. I miss so many wonderful desserts because I hate to have to throw it away if didnt work.

          Joyce, I substitute GF flour all the time for regular flour in dessert recipes. Rarely have any problems.

    In your photo of the ingredients for the topping, you have milk or cream shown in a measuring cup. And your photo of ingredients in saucepan shows milk or cream. But your instructions nor the recipe list make mention of it. Is it used, and if so how much? Thank you!

      Hi there, instruction #2 tells to add the milk/cream and peaches after the other ingredients are combined. The ingredient list includes 1 cup milk or cream. Hope you enjoy the recipe. It’s terrific.

      Yes, i understand for the pudding part, but milk/cream is shown in the pictures for the steps to make the TOPPING. Butter, brown sugar, nutmeg, water, and milk/cream are shown in the pictures? Sorry for all the questions!☺

        Actually, that’s sugar in the picture, not milk. The topping uses granulated sugar, brown sugar, butter, water and nutmeg. Sorry my camera isn’t clearer. The milk is only in the pudding part of the recipe. Enjoy.

    Would it be just awful if I used bleached flour? I really don’t wanna run back out to the store. Maybe if I am careful as to not mix the up too much I may be ok? Thoughts?

      Hi Becky. I stopped using bleached flour in the 90s when I read about what they do to it in processing. But you can use bleached flour if that’s all you have. I think you’ll love the recipe.

      I just made and ate way too much of this and am now forwarding on to my baking friends and relatives, although absolutely no baking experience is required. It’s not really a cobbler or a pudding, and it does seem odd to dump over 3 cups of syrup on top, but it is so delicious. I just saw that it serves 18. HA!

        Hi, Julie. Yeah, I just inherited the name from Taste of Home. It’s really more like a peach cobbler. It really is terrific and great if you’re making for a lot of company.

    Can you use canned pesches. This looks delicious

    1. Teresa

      September 23, 2015 at 11:19 am

      I think you can use canned peaches, Eloise. Or perhaps frozen.

    2. If using frozen peach slices, do they need to defrost before preparing?

      May 6, 2020 at 7:29 pm

      If using frozen peach slices, would I need to defrost them prior to cooking?

      1. Teresa

        May 7, 2020 at 5:32 am

        Hi, Eloise. I would probably defrost them first and wipe off any excess moisture so they don’t make the pudding soupy. Enjoy.

    Hello, this looks delicious, but I have a possibly dumb question:

    Do you eat this hot, warm, room temp..?

    I ask because I want to make this and bring it to a bbq that is about an hour away. Should I just wait and bake it there, or take it baked and serve at room temp? (I will have access to an oven at the host’s home)

    Either way, it’s getting made, cause the whole syrup-on-top thing has got to be tried!

    1. Teresa

      August 12, 2015 at 12:14 pm

      Hi, Matt. You can take this at any temperature – hot out of the oven, or room temperature. I don’t usually refrigerate it until after we’ve cut into it.

    […] Here is another delicious peach recipe that tastes like Peach Cobbler but in cookie form! It has a tasty lemony crust and streusel and a lovely peach pie filling that’s so delectable. The combination of lemon with all the other ingredients was really spectacular and added a zest to this recipe that many peach desserts don’t usually have. The lemon wasn’t overwhelming, let me assure you, it was subtle, but just right. Every bite was chewy with a delicious cobbler texture. […]
