Peach Cobbler

(from wombat’s recipe box)

Peaches are not only great fresh; they are also fantastic in cooking and deserts, too! Peach cobblers and crisps are a couple of my favorite summer deserts! They are similar; both are shallow pans of fruit and some flour or grain thickener, with a sweetener. Some cobblers are made with the flour on top of the raw seasoned fruit and baked; while others mix the thickener and the sweetener with the fruit and heating it and then put the flour topping on last. Crisp are usually uniform mixes of fruit and grains, like oats. The recipe below is for a REALLY easy peach cobbler, that tastes great!

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar or Splenda
  • 1 cup all purpose flour (white, mixed or wheat)
  • 1 Tablespoon baking powder
  • 3/4 cup milk (low-fat or non-fat are fine)
  • 3 cups sliced fresh peaches, peeled or not
  • 1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Wash, peel and slice the peaches You can slice them thin or thick as you prefer!

  2. Melt the stick of butter in a medium sauté pan over medium-high heat until it bubbles and turns golden-brown. Be careful: it will burn quickly and easily!

  3. Pour the butter into an 8-inch square baking dish.

  4. In a medium bowl, stir together the 1 cup sugar (or Splenda, or blend), the 1 cup flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and 3/4 cup milk.

  5. Pour the batter on top of the melted butter. Do not stir.

  6. Evenly sprinkle the brown sugar over the cobbler.

  7. Bake the cobbler for 40 to 45 minutes, until the top turns golden brown. The batter will migrate from the bottom of the pan to cover the peach slices partially.
