Fredericksburg, Texas, is known for their peaches. During the summer months, fruit stands are overloaded with fresh juicy peaches. On a recent trip there, I noticed that peach desserts are on all the restaurant menus. One that left me begging for more was a Tennessee peach pudding served with vanilla ice cream.
This peach recipe is my take on the sweet dessert I enjoyed on my trip. Unlike peach cobbler, Tennessee pudding has a liquid topping poured over before being baked. The result is a peach cobbler-like base with a cinnamony sauce. Amazing.
To make Tennessee peach pudding you will need brown sugar, granulated sugar, butter, water and ground cinnamon for the topping, and fresh or frozen peaches (read about the health benefits of peaches), flour, granulated sugar, milk, baking powder, salt, ground cinnamon and vanilla for the "pudding."
If you can get your hands on fresh peaches, that will give you the best results. But if you can't wait for those peaches to ripen on the trees, frozen will do. There are several ways you can peel fresh peaches. You can use a vegetable peeler to remove the skin. Another way is to boil the peaches for 30 seconds, then remove to an ice bath. Once cool, the skin should come right off. A paring knife is many people's tool of choice for peeling peaches.
Serve this peachy treat for dessert with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or homemade whipped cream.

- 3 cups water
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Pudding
- 5 cups peaches, peeled and chopped (fresh or frozen)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup whole milk
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Here's how to make it:
- In a saucepot, stir together the brown sugar, granulated sugar, butter, water and cinnamon. Bring to a boil and stir until sugars are fully dissolved. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt and cinnamon.

- Fold in the peaches.
- Pour the filling into a greased 13x9-inch baking pan. Pour the topping over the batter. Bake in a preheated 400-degree F oven for about 50 minutes. If the pudding starts to get too brown, cover with aluminum foil. Let the dessert sit for about 15 minutes before serving. Store the peach pudding in an airtight container in the fridge.
