National Peach Cobbler Day: Easy Recipe To Celebrate The Delicious Dessert

National Peach Cobbler Day is an unofficial holiday that is celebrated on April 13 every year to recognize the delicious dessert which originated during the 19th century.

Cobbler is a deep-dish fruit pie that is covered with a thick crust made from biscuit dough. This wholesome dessert is a part of the cuisine of the United Kingdom and the United States. Though people did not consider cobbler as a fashionable dish to serve to guests for many years in the past, it has now become a popular addition to American desserts.

You can celebrate this special occasion by baking your very own savory peach cobbler and sharing it with friends and family members.
