Tennessee Peach Pudding

This Tennessee Peach Pudding is a warm, old-fashioned dessert with juicy peaches baked in a sweet, buttery batter and topped with a caramel-like brown sugar sauce that forms its own pudding as it bakes. It’s soft, gooey, and perfect with ice cream.

Ingredients

For the Peach Filling:

  • 4 cups fresh peaches peeled and sliced (or canned peaches, drained well)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg optional
  • ½ cup milk
  • ½ cup 1 stick unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Brown Sugar Sauce:

  • 1 ½ cups brown sugar packed
  • 1 ½ cups boiling water
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter

Instructions

  • Peel and slice the peaches, or drain them well if using canned. In a bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Add milk, melted butter, and vanilla; stir until smooth, then fold in the peaches.
  • Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and pour in the batter evenly. In a saucepan, melt brown sugar, butter, and boiling water together until smooth, then pour over the batter without stirring.
  • Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 45–50 minutes, until golden and bubbly. Let cool slightly, then serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
