Sweet Treats for My Lack of Posts: Mom's Peach Cobbler

I've had a lot to handle lately. We found out on Wednesday past that I may deliver sooner than expected. Actually more than likely much sooner. My husband can't get his vacation sooner either so now I've just been hoping he doesn't come before a Wednesday because Mr. Mom is off on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. SO...needless to say I've not felt like even getting up much less putting on makeup or being a girl! But to make up for the lack of makeup, here is my recipe for homemade peach cobbler.




Ingredients
Filling
8 large fresh peaches (peeled and sliced)
1/4 cup white granulated sugar
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons cornstarch
Crust
1 cup all purpose flour
1/4 cup white granulated sugar
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons UNSALTED butter (chilled and cut into cubes)
1/4 cup boiling water
Topping
3 tablespoons white granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

In a large bowl, combine peaches, 1/4 cup white sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Toss to coat evenly, and pour into a 2 quart baking dish. Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine flour, 1/4 cup white sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Blend in butter with your fingertips, or a pastry blender, until mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in water until just combined.

Remove peaches from oven, and drop spoonfuls of crust over them. Sprinkle entire cobbler with the sugar and cinnamon mixture. Bake until topping is golden, about 30 minutes.

My family loves this warm with homemade vanilla ice cream!

Love,
Mom
