    Recipe: This peach cobbler is as easy as pie – even easier

    I recently cooked a full Southern dinner for many people, and the peach cobbler was the favorite of the five dishes served.

    It’s an easy dessert to make, and it has a piecrust topping, but without actually making a piecrust.

    Yes, it has a lot of butter, but that’s what makes this recipe stand out.

    It’s best to use canned peaches in heavy syrup because fresh peaches will make the dish watery.

    Serve the cobbler with ice cream or just as is. It just might become a favorite of yours to take to a potluck or serve at a dinner party.

    Southern Peach Cobbler

    INGREDIENTS

    4 15-ounce canned peaches, in heavy syrup

    5 tablespoons melted butter

    21/2 teaspoons lemon juice

    2 teaspoons vanilla extract

    1/8 teaspoon of salt

    TOPPING

    2 cups flour

    11/2 cups sugar

    2 teaspoons baking powder

    1 teaspoon cinnamon

    Pinch of nutmeg

    1/2 teaspoon of salt

    One cup melted butter

    Optional vanilla ice cream

    DIRECTIONS

    Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

    Pour four cans of drained peaches into a 9×13 baking pan. Next, add back 9 ounces of the syrup.

    Add the melted butter, lemon juice, vanilla extract and salt to the peaches. Mix to combine.

    In a separate bowl, add the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, pinch of nutmeg and salt. Mix well.

    Spoon the flour mixture over the top of the peach cobbler, making sure to cover the top evenly using the back of a large spoon. Smooth out the mixture to the edges.

    Now drizzle melted butter over the top of the flour mixture.

    Bake for 15 minutes at 400 degrees, then reduce temperature to 375 and continue to bake for 50 minutes or until the top is golden brown.

    Let cool at least a half hour to an hour before serving because the topping sets up as it cools to resemble the piecrust.

    Serve with ice cream and enjoy.
