Texas peach cobbler with Parker County peaches · Fort Worth
Sliced fresh Texas peaches in a cinnamon-spiced syrup baked under a thick drop-biscuit crust, served warm with vanilla ice cream. Made with Parker County peaches at Fort Worth BBQ joints and diners through summer.
Parker County, directly west of Fort Worth, has grown peaches commercially since German settlers planted the first orchards in the 1870s. The warm, dry Weatherford-area climate and well-drained sandy soils produce a distinctively sweet, low-acid freestone peach that ripens between June and August. Fort Worth restaurants adopted Parker County peaches as a civic point of pride, and the cobbler became the region's signature dessert, appearing on menus at BBQ joints, diners, and steak houses throughout the summer season. Panther City BBQ made their peach cobbler one of the most-discussed items on their menu, drawing visitors who timed trips to catch the dessert fresh from the pit oven.
