Southern Style Peach Cobbler

I had a friend ask me the other day if I had a good peach cobbler recipe. She needed one because her daughter had requested peach cobbler for her birthday. It's funny...because I had JUST been thinking the day before how I need one here on SFFS. I love a cobbler with a yummy biscuit topping....so here you go! This went super fast at our house and my friend, being who she is...got an advance copy of this recipe for her daughter's birthday dessert. She served hers with Dairy Queen soft serve ice cream which I thought was GENIUS!!! This is so yummy right out of the oven but truth be told...it's yummy heated up in the microwave, too!

Southern Style Peach Cobbler



6 cups peaches ~ cut into large chunks (fresh or frozen)
1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons cornstarch

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.

Place peaches and lemon juice in a medium sized bowl.

In a small bowl, combine the rest of the ingredients then sprinkle over the peaches. Stir to mix then pour into prepared pan.

Bake for 10 minutes.



For the topping

2 cups flour
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 sticks cold butter ~ cut into small pieces
1/2 cup boiling water

In a medium bowl, combine the flour, sugar, brown sugar, baking powder and salt.

Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour mixture until the mixture is coarse.

Pour the boiling water into the flour mixture and stir until it comes together.

Drop topping mixture onto the peaches in large spoonfuls. Not every part will be covered but it will come together as it's baking.

Sprinkle some sugar over the top of the cobbler.

Bake for 30 - 40 minutes or until topping is golden brown.

Serve with vanilla ice cream.
