Cinnamon Toast Crunch Peach Cobbler

Peach – the Queen of summer can be used in so many ways. Think ice creams, delicious mousse, peach cake, and of course peach cobbler.

Peaches are known to be a delicate type of fruit, with juicy flesh and amazing color.

I often like to make contrast in my recipes, and the best way to use peaches is to combine them with something crispy.

There are different recipes for peach cobbler, but none beats the cinnamon toast crunch cobbler. It is a delicious fusion of cinnamon flavors, delicate and sweet peaches, and crunchy topping.

How to make the cinnamon toast crunch peach cobbler?

For this recipe, I used canned peaches and syrup of course.

The syrup gave me an extra little flavor and moisture and that was a hit.

You can also use the fresh peaches, but make sure to add at least simple syrup, made with some sugar, water, and a bit of lemon juice. It really makes the difference once baked.

Instead of a dry cobbler, you will end up with a juicy cobbler.

Making peach cobbler is easier than you think.

You can combine all the ingredients from the dough in a baking pan, layer with peaches, and just top with cinnamon crunch. 

For this recipe, I used cinnamon toast crunch

This cereal has an amazing crunch and the most beautiful cinnamon flavor that complements the peaches perfectly.

Crush the cereal in a ziplock bag or in a bowl, by pressing them with a glass and just sprinkle over the peaches. Finish off with some melted butter and bake in the oven. 

Is this recipe gluten-free?

This recipe is not gluten-free, but you can easily turn it into one. Instead of plain, all-purpose flour, use certified gluten-free flour.

For the topping, you won’t be able to go with cinnamon toast crunch, but the next best thing is a mixture of oats, slivered almonds, and some cinnamon.

This combo will give your peach cobbler a nutty flavor that is outstanding.

My tricks to make perfect peach cobbler

Making peach cobbler is not different from making any type of fruit cobbler. This is one of the easiest desserts to try and here are some tips that may be helpful:

Use any kind of peaches; use a fresh, can, of frozen fruit; peach cobbler may be a classic summer dessert, but this recipe can be made all year round with frozen peaches or peaches from the syrup. 

If you are using can peaches, make sure to use the juice, do not discard it, and when it comes to frozen peaches, well you do not have to thaw these. 

Make sure to adjust the sugar; peaches range in sweetness, so it is important to taste them before adding sugar. For ripe peaches that already taste sweet, use less sugar. For peaches that are very tart use more sugar. 

Mix and match; if you have some other fruits besides peaches, you can mix them. I find that stone fruits such as plums work best with peaches. 

Dump and mix; you can make the batter in a bowl, or just combine the batter ingredients in a baking dish, mix them and then place peaches on top, as well the cinnamon cereal topping.
