Peach Cobbler I
A warm, comforting peach cobbler with a tender batter and sweetened fresh peaches, perfect for summer gatherings and family desserts.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Melt 1 stick of oleo (butter) in a small square cake pan.
- Pour the batter over the melted oleo without stirring.
- Pour 2 cups (1 pint) of sweetened fresh peach slices over the batter.
- Bake for 40 minutes at 375°F until golden and bubbly.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using brown sugar instead of white sugar. If you don't have fresh peaches, canned or frozen peaches can work, but drain them well to avoid excess moisture. To enhance the dish, a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg can be added to the batter. Serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast, just like with Butterscotch Icebox Cookies.
Serving Suggestions
Serve your peach cobbler warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream on top. It pairs beautifully with Hot French Bread Sandwiches for a delightful meal. For a more indulgent dessert experience, drizzle some caramel sauce over each serving, or enjoy it with a cup of coffee or tea.
Storage & Reheating
To store leftovers, cover the peach cobbler with plastic wrap or transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. To reheat, place individual portions in the microwave for 20-30 seconds, or warm the entire dish in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 15 minutes until heated through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other fruits instead of peaches?
