Instant Peach Cobbler

May 3, 2017 Breads, Desserts, recipes

Thanks to all of the rain and the warm weather, we finally have peaches. Every year the deer beat us to them, or the birds, or the raccoons but not this year!

I have been out daily to check them. I walked around the tree giving them a little squeeze just to see if there was any softness. One day I finally felt that slight indentation against the fuzzy skin. Yep…peach cobbler here I come.

I picked some of the peaches, placed them in hot water to loosen the skin, peeled them, and cut them into chucks. I managed to get a few in the freezer, a lot of them into my mouth, and the rest went into a peach cobbler.

I love this recipe. It’s quick, easy,and requires very little effort. It’s the same recipe I used for my STRAWBERRY COBBLER.

Quick and Easy Cobbler

This recipe makes a 9 x 13 dish but you can make a half batch and bake 8 x 8 baking dish.

Ingredients

1 stick of butter
1 large (21oz) can of fruit or pie filling
or use fresh fruit sweetened to taste
¾ cup of milk
1 cup of sugar plus 1/2 cup for topping
1 ½ tsp vanilla
1 cup flour
1 ½ tsp baking powder
dash salt

Directions

Melt butter in the bottom of your baking dish (I just stick mine in the oven while it is preheating).
In a separate dish mix milk, flour, 1 cup of the sugar, vanilla, and baking powder and pour batter over the melted butter. DO NOT STIR.
Pour fruit over batter. (I use a teaspoon and dollop the fruit around the batter) DO NOT STIR.
Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup of sugar over the top of the fruit/batter mixture.
Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes to 1 hour. (check after 45 minutes !)

If you are making a half batch simply half all of the ingredients and use 1 (15oz) can of fruit or pie filling. There is no exact proportion of fruit to batter so you can add as much or as little as you like. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 – 40 minutes.
