Dessert of the Month: Peach Cobbler

This old fashioned, quintessential summer recipe could not be easier to make. It’s also the perfect transition from summer to fall. Head out to Green Bluff, pick up some fresh peaches, and give it a try! Recipe adapted from Tastes Better from Scratch.

INGREDIENTS

The Peaches

5 fresh peaches – peeled, cored and sliced (about 4 cups)
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt

The Batter

6 tbs. butter
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
3/4 cup milk
ground cinnamon

INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1 Add the sliced peaches, sugar and salt to a saucepan and stir to combine. 


Step 2 Cook on medium heat for just a few minutes, until the sugar is dissolved and helps to bring out juices from the peaches. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 3 Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Slice butter into pieces and add to a 9x13 inch baking dish. Place the pan in the oven while it preheats, to allow the butter to melt. Once melted, remove the pan from the oven.

Step 4 In a large bowl mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the milk, until just combined. Pour the mixture into the pan, over the melted butter and smooth it into an even layer.

Step 5 Spoon the peaches and juice over the batter. Sprinkle cinnamon generously over the top.

Step 6 Bake at 350 degrees for about 40 minutes. Serve warm and with a scoop of ice cream!
