Tennessee Peach Pudding is a classic Southern dessert featuring juicy peaches baked into a soft, cakey base with a buttery, caramelized crust. A warm syrup is poured over the batter before baking, creating a luscious, pudding-like texture underneath.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups peaches, peeled and diced (fresh or thawed from frozen)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2/3 cup milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for topping)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg (or more cinnamon)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease an 8×8 or 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
  3. Stir in milk and vanilla extract until smooth. Fold in diced peaches gently.
  4. Pour and spread the peach batter mixture evenly into the prepared dish.
  5. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine water, granulated sugar, brown sugar, butter, and nutmeg. Bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar is dissolved and butter is melted.
  6. Carefully pour the hot liquid over the batter in the baking dish. Do not stir.
  7. Bake for 50–60 minutes, until the top is golden, bubbling, and firm to the touch. Tent with foil if browning too quickly.
  8. Let rest for 10–15 minutes to allow the pudding to set and sauce to thicken.
  9. Spoon into bowls and serve warm, topping with extra sauce and optional ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

  • Use a baking sheet under the pan in case of bubbling over.
  • Serve warm for the best texture and flavor.
  • Reheating helps restore the pudding-like consistency and crisp crust.
  • Customize with spices or add chopped nuts before baking.
