Easy Peach Cobbler

It’s Peach season! I found some beautiful, juicy peaches and had to make a cobbler. Here’s an easy recipe I hope you will try.

Filling:

Peaches – I used 3 extra large ones that I found, cut into thin slices – peeled or unpeeled as you like
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
2 tsp fresh squeezed lemon juice

Batter:

4 tbsp butter
3/4 cup flour
1/2 to 3/4 cup sugar, depending if you like it sweeter
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp almond or vanilla extract
3/4 cup milk

Put the filling ingredients in a medium saucepan and place over medium heat. Cook, while stirring, until sugar dissolves and juices start to boil. Lower the heat and simmer for about 5 minutes.

Put the butter in a 2 quart baking dish and place it in the oven to melt while preheating to 350 degrees

Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Stir the almond extract into the milk.

Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry, while whisking, until well combined.

Remove the Baking dish from the oven and pour the batter over the melted butter

Spoon the peaches and juice evenly over the batter. It will invert while baking.

Bake 35 – 45 minutes til juices are bubbling and cobbler is golden brown.

Cool before serving with ice cream or whipped cream.
