Tennessee Peach Pudding
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.

Everyone at John’s office raved over this dessert.
Here’s what I did.
I used these ingredients to make the pudding batter.
Place UNBLEACHED all-purpose flour into a mixing bowl. (Bleached flour toughens baked goods.) Add sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, salt and milk or cream.
Add finely, diced peaches. Stir ingredients to combine.
Grease a 10×15″ baking dish. Pour peach batter into prepared baking dish.
I used these ingredients to make the topping.
Place sugar, brown sugar, butter and cinnamon in a medium-sized saucepan over medium to medium high heat. Add water and bring to boiling.
Stir ingredients until sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat.
Pour syrup topping over peach batter.
Bake at 400 for 50-60 minutes or until set.
Tennessee Peach Pudding is a great dessert to share with company.
