Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

4 c sliced peaches (frozen ok)
1 1/2 c sugar
1/4 tsp almond extract - scant
1/2 c butter, melted
3/4 c a.p. flour plus 3 tbs
2 tsp baking powder
pinch salt
pinch cinnamon
3/4 c milk (1% ok)
raw sugar for crust
instant tapioca granules if peaches are juicy

Steps:

1. Make peach mixture first. Slice fresh peaches into wedges, or thaw frozen peaches.
2. In a large bowl gently toss peaches with 1 cup sugar, almond extract and 3 TBS. flour. I also add a dash of salt here.
3. Note: If peaches are really juicy add up to 1 TBS. instant tapioca granules so peaches won't be floating in their own juice! Set Aside.
4. Preheat oven to 350*. Spray 2 quart baking dish with PAM.
5. Melt butter and add to baking dish.
6. In another bowl mix together 3/4 cup flour, baking powder, salt, and 1/2 c. sugar. Add milk. (I sometimes mix our 1% milk with half and half to make it a little richer.)
7. Pour batter over melted butter in baking dish. Try to get it evenly distributed. DO NOT STIR into the butter!
8. Spoon peach mixture over batter, evenly. DO NOT STIR!
9. Bake @ 350* for 50-55 minutes, until top is golden brown. Remove from oven and sprinkle top with raw sugar while still hot.
10. Serve with ice cream or cream. Heavenly!

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

4 cups sliced peeled fresh or frozen peaches, thawed
1 cup sugar, divided
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1/3 cup butter, melted
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
Pinch salt
3/4 cup milk
Vanilla ice cream, optional

Steps:

In a large bowl, gently toss peaches, 1/2 cup sugar and extract; set aside. Pour butter into a 2-qt. baking dish. 2. In a small bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt and remaining sugar; stir in milk until smooth. Pour evenly over butter (do not stir). Top with peach mixture. 3. Bake at 350° for 50-55 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly. Serve with ice cream if desired. Yield: 8 servings.

Tips:

Use fresh, ripe peaches. This will give your cobbler the best flavor.
Peel and slice the peaches thinly. This will help them cook evenly.
Add a little bit of sugar to the peaches. This will help them release their juices and prevent them from becoming too tart.
Use a combination of all-purpose flour and cornmeal in the topping. This will give your cobbler a crispy, crumbly texture.
Don't overmix the topping. Overmixing will make the topping tough.
Bake the cobbler until the topping is golden brown and the peaches are bubbling. This usually takes about 45 minutes.
Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving. This will help the topping set.
Serve the cobbler with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. This will make it even more delicious!

Conclusion:

Peach cobbler is a classic Southern dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its sweet, juicy peaches and crispy, crumbly topping, peach cobbler is sure to be a hit at your next gathering. So what are you waiting for? Give this recipe a try today!
