This is wonderful on its own, but even better with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream!

Ingredients:

Filling

• 4 cups peaches (frozen, or ripe, sliced and peeled)

• 1⁄2 teaspoon vanilla

• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

• 4 tablespoons sugar

Batter

• 1 1⁄4 cups all-purpose flour

• 6 tablespoons melted butter

• 3⁄4 cup sugar

• 2 tablespoons baking powder

• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt

• 1 teaspoon cinnamon

• 1 cup milk

• 1 teaspoon vanilla

• 1 tablespoon turbinado sugar

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees, and peel the peaches if using fresh. (To peel fresh peaches, blanch them in boiling water briefly; this will make peeling a cinch.)

2. Combine the peaches with sugar, lemon juice & vanilla to make the cobbler filling and set aside.

3. Pour butter into an 8-inch square baking dish, making sure it covers the bottom.

4. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon in a medium bowl. In a small bowl, mix milk and 1/2 tsp. vanilla together.  Add milk mixture to flour mixture, stirring just until moist. Spoon batter mixture over butter and spread evenly. Do not stir!

5. Spoon the peach mixture over the batter, gently pressing the peaches into batter.

6. Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes, sprinkle with turbinado sugar, then bake for an additional 10 minutes or until the crust is golden.
