Peach Cobbler Coffee Cake
If you're looking for a fun way to use up a few ripe, summer peaches and happen to enjoy having cake for breakfast, this peach cobbler coffee cake recipe is for you. Fresh peach slices are simmered on the stovetop with brown sugar and cinnamon to form a gooey peach cobbler-style filling that you'll layer into rich sour cream coffee cake batter. The cake is then capped with an iconic cinnamon-sugar pecan crumble topping before baking into a coffee cake that's too good not to share. And you'll have plenty to go around, as this decadently dense, moist 9x13-inch coffee cake is perfect for a crowd.
