EASY Peach Cobbler — Brooke J. Fisher

Hi everyone! Mrs. Fisher here.

Recently someone from our church posted a picture of a FULL tub of peaches on Facebook. Peaches are a Fisher favorite. Mitch dreams about Chik-Fil-A's peach shakes year round. Scrambling to see how I could get my hands on some of those freshly picked peaches, I texted Mitch and pleaded him to stop whatever he was doing to go get us some. It didn't take much to get him there.

Three days later I have a bag full of ripe peaches with no plans for them, so I decided I would try to make my first cobbler EVER. I turned to Pinterest and combined a couple of my favorite recipes (Thank you All Recipes and Life in the Lofthouse) It was actually way easier than I thought it would be. The longest part of the process was peeling and slicing the peaches.

PS: The best part of this recipe is that you do not need to boil the peaches or other fruit like most cobblers.

Prep time: 10-15 Minutes // Baking time: 35-40 minutes // Yield: 8-10

Ingredients:

2-2 1/2 cups peeled, sliced peaches (canned or fresh)
2 Tablespoons & 1 cup sugar, divided
½ cup butter, room temperature
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
a pinch of salt
a pinch of cinnamon
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. and grease a 9x13 pan.
If using fresh peaches, peel skins and cut into slices. Arrange peach slices into a flat layer in the greased pan. Sprinkle peaches with 2 Tablespoons of sugar.
Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, cream 1/2 cup room temperature butter and 1 cup sugar. Add flour, baking powder, salt, vanilla and optional cinnamon. It will turn into a similar consistency to pie crust or cookie dough.
Spread dough evenly over the peaches. Try to make it as evenly as possible. Note: It will not cover the peaches completely when it is raw. It will spread and rise while baking.
Bake in oven for 35-45 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool for about 10 minutes and pair with your favorite ice cream.

There you have it! My fears of making peach cobbler are suddenly gone thanks to this simple recipe.
