Peach Cobbler

Posted byhelenspencerpantazisPosted inDessert

This can be made into cherry cobbler by substituting the cherry pie filling recipe for the peaches. This is my favorite use of peaches when they are in season.

Peaches:

  • 2 1/2 lbs. peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 2 TBSP cornstarch
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp. nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Cobbler:

  • 2 cups flour
  • 4 TBSP sugar
  • 2 1/2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 1/4 cups heavy cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla

Preheat oven to 375°F.

Dip peaches in boiling water for 5 seconds. Peel and slice into a medium bowl. Add sugars, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Stir to combine.

Pour into an 8″ or 9″ square baking dish. Bake for 25 minutes.

Meanwhile, prepare cobbler: Stir together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Pour in heavy cream and vanilla. Stir until the mixture is evenly moistened.

Shape the dough into 9 rough biscuits- flatten each to about 1 1/2″ thick.

After peaches have cooked for 25 minutes, remove from oven. Top with cobbler biscuits. If desired, brush with a little heavy cream and sprinkle with sugar.

Bake for an additional 35 minutes, until peaches are bubbling and cobber is golden brown.
