Tennessee Peach Pudding is a beloved Southern dessert that embodies comfort and warmth in every spoonful. Sweet, buttery, and infused with juicy peaches, it bakes into a golden pudding that forms its own luscious caramel sauce underneath. This dessert is rustic, simple to make, and packed with the kind of home-baked charm that makes Southern cooking so irresistible.
As it bakes, the peaches soften and release their natural juices, blending beautifully with the tender cake-like topping. Meanwhile, the brown sugar and boiling water create a self-saucing effect, leaving a rich caramel glaze that pools at the bottom. The result is a spoonful of golden pudding layered with buttery cake and sweet peaches in every bite.
This dish is perfect for summer when peaches are at their peak, but it’s just as satisfying made with canned or frozen fruit any time of the year. Its simplicity and down-home flavor make it ideal for family gatherings, Sunday dinners, or potluck desserts.
