This incredible recipe comes from a dear family friend in Georgia. She made this cobbler when I lived in Atlanta, and it’s been a favorite dessert of mine ever since! Use fresh, sweet, juicy peaches and serve warm with vanilla ice cream. It’s heaven on a plate!
Ingredients:
2 cups fresh peach slices, (about 4 large peaches)
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup butter, melted
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup white sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 cup whole or 2% milk (not skim)
Directions:
- Pre heat oven to 300 degrees F.
- Peel and slice peaches into equal size pieces.
- Place peaches in a bowl and fold in lemon juice and almond extract. Sprinkle 1/2 cup sugar over peaches. Set aside.
- In a large bowl whisk together flour, 1 cup sugar, and baking powder. Add milk and stir until well combined.
- Place melted butter in 9×9 glass baking pan.
- Spoon batter into baking pan, on top of butter. DO NOT MIX TOGETHER.
- Spoon peaches on top of batter and once again DO NOT MIX TOGETHER.
- Place in hot oven and bake 1 hour, un-covered, or until firm to the touch.
