Description
Tennessee Peach Pudding is a southern dessert that combines fresh peaches with a sweet, cake-like batter, topped with a rich, buttery sauce. Perfect for any occasion, it’s a comforting treat with a golden, fluffy texture and a sweet peach flavor.
Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (or 2 cans of peaches, drained)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup self-rising flour
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (optional, for added sweetness)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the self-rising flour, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
- Add the melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients and mix until smooth.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly over the bottom.
- Place the sliced peaches evenly on top of the batter. If using canned peaches, make sure to drain them well before adding.
- Sprinkle the brown sugar over the top of the peaches (optional).
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the pudding is golden brown and set, with the fruit bubbling around the edges.
- Let the pudding cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence.
Notes
- Substitute peaches with nectarines, plums, or berries for a different flavor.
- Add a pinch of ground nutmeg or allspice for a spiced version of the pudding.
- Top with caramel sauce, toasted pecans, or cinnamon ice cream for extra flair.
- If using frozen peaches, be sure to thaw and drain them to avoid excess moisture in the pudding.
- This dessert can be made ahead and reheated in the oven before serving.
