This Southern-Style Tennessee Peach Pudding is a quintessentially warm and comforting dessert that captures the sun-drenched sweetness of a classic Southern harvest. Unlike a traditional thin pudding, this Tennessee specialty features a cake-like crumb that rises through a layer of bubbling, caramelized peaches to create a golden, crusted top. It is a rustic, “homestyle” masterpiece that balances the acidity of ripe peaches with a rich, buttery sweetness, making it an irresistible finale to any family gathering.
