Summer Sweets ~ Peach Cobbler

I don't know about you all, but peaches are my absolute favorite fruit.  Now is the time to get them at the farmer's market or from your neighbor's backyard if you are lucky!  I'm not usually one to buy bulk fruit at Costco, but guys, I couldn't resist.  They smelled sooo good and looked beautiful and they made their way into my cart before I could blink.



Unfortunately, my husband stacked up some other goodies on top of them, and by the time we got out to the car three of my peaches had been smushed.  I knew that I'd have to make a cobbler and was excited to get started on it as soon as I got home.

This is no fancy dessert, just simple, delicious and easy to put together.

Ingredients:
4 large fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
1/4-1/2 cup of sugar
1 tsp of cinnamon
2 tbs flour
pinch of salt
2 cups of bisquick
3 tbs melted butter
2 cups bisquick baking mix
2/3 cup of milk

Directions:


  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. After all your peaches are sliced, taste one and see how sweet they are.  If they are super sweet, use less sugar, if they are tart, use a little more. Mix 1/4 cup (more if needed) of sugar with cinnamon, flour, and salt.  sprinkle over the peaches and toss gently.  
  • Evenly layer the peaches in a greased baking dish.  In a mixing bowl combine the bisquick, melted butter and milk and combine.  Dough should be wet and sticky, not runny. (Add a little more bisquick if it is too lose.)
  • Spoon dough over the top of the peaches until they are nearly all evenly coated with a little dough.  Sprinkle a little sugar 1-2 tsp over the top of the dough and bake in oven until dough is golden, about 20 minutes. Serve with fresh whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.




I hope your family enjoys this cobbler as much as mine did!
