Fresh Peach Cobbler

By MaryEllen

This recipe was given to me many years ago by Mrs. Orin Stevens of Fargo, ND. She told me she'd gotten it from a church cookbook. I've used fresh, frozen and canned peaches with equal success.

Ingredients

• 3 cups peaches, peeled, pitted and sliced
• 1 1/2 cups sugar, divided*
• 1 cup flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup butter
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla or almond extract
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/2 cup water
• See reviews

Preparation

Step 1

1 Grease a 9 x 13-inch pan and line with peaches.
2 Combine 1/2 cup sugar, flour, baking powder, salt, margarine, vanilla and milk.
3 Stir till smooth.
4 Pour over peaches.
5 Combine 1 cup sugar and water.
6 Pour over batter.
7 Bake 1 hour at 350°F.
8 Serve warm or room temperature.

Per the reviews:
Use more peaches than called for for a 9x13 pan. If using 3 cups, do it in an 8 inch square pan. Add cinnamon and nutmeg to both fruit and batter. Consider using Brown Sugar for the crust part.
