Colorado Peach Cobbler

By newbaucher

I’ve served this dessert for family and special guests many times over the years. I’ve used other fruits that are in season,, but we prefer peaches. There’s nothing better than a dish of this warm cobbler topped with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream.

In a bowl, combine sugar, flour and nutmeg. Add peaches; stir to coat. Pour into a greased 11-in. x 7-in. x 2-in. baking pan. For topping, combine sugar, flour, baking powder and salt; cut in the butter until the mixture resembles fine crumbs. Stir in egg. Spoon over peaches.
Bake at 375° for 35-40 minutes or until filling is bubbly and topping is golden. Serve hot or cold with ice cream if desired.
