Peach Cobber
A sweet and juicy peach cobbler with a cinnamon hint, perfect for summer gatherings and dessert lovers seeking a fruity, comforting treat.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Wash and slice the peaches.
- Combine sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon in a pan.
- Add peaches and lemon juice to the pan.
- Add enough water to almost cover the peaches.
- Cook on medium heat until peaches are tender.
- If peaches are tart, add 1/3 cup extra sugar.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of nutmeg along with the cinnamon. If fresh peaches aren't available, canned or frozen peaches can be substituted, but adjust the sugar accordingly since they may already be sweetened. Make sure to drain excess liquid if using canned peaches to avoid a watery cobbler.
Serving Suggestions
Serve warm, topped with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for a delicious contrast to the warm peaches. This peach cobbler pairs beautifully with Country Peach Tart for a fruit-themed dessert spread. For a complete meal, consider serving alongside Western Roundup Salad for a refreshing side.
Storage & Reheating
To store leftovers, transfer the cooled peach cobbler to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. To reheat, place portions in the microwave for about 30 seconds or in an oven at 350°F until warmed through. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful treat.
