One summer fruit we tend to receive lots of in our CSA shares is peaches, last year a few were wasted and the others I canned or used for jam.  I am planning to make more desserts from the fruit share and looking forward to doing some more fun things besides canning them.  My summer memories from childhood were watching my Grandma bake with the summer fruit. Cobblers were her specialty, the combination of moist pastry mixed with the sweetness of the peaches and the crunchiness of the sugar and crust filled me with joy.  It is one of my favorite peach dishes.  This recipe calls for only 6 ingredients (which is why it is called “easy”), nothing fancy, just items you already have in your pantry.  Another thing, you don’t have to peel them! I plan to make this more than once this summer, looking forward to the peaches this year!

 

Ingredients for Southern Living's Easy Peach Cobbler 

Fresh peaches: The fresh, fruity base of the cobbler. Choose ripe, juicy peaches for this recipe, although frozen, thawed peaches can also work in a pinch.

Salted butter: Melted to add richness to the cobbler.

Self-rising flour: Gives the cobbler its structure and lift.

Granulated sugar: Sweetens the cobbler. You can also use light brown sugar for extra depth.

Whole milk: Adds moisture to create the cake-like cobbler.

Vanilla extract: For depth of flavor.

How To Make Easy Peach Cobbler

Step 1. Prepare cobbler: Gently rub the peaches under running water to remove fuzz, and slice. Place butter in an 11- x 7-inch baking dish; transfer to oven until melted. Stir together flour, sugar, milk, and vanilla in a bowl, and pour over melted butter. (Do not stir.) Top evenly with peaches.

Step 2. Bake: Bake until golden brown and bubbly.
