A Sweet Treat: {Southern Peach Cobbler}

**Here's a yummy summertime recipe from the archives! I made this last week, and it's just as delicious as I remember it! I highly recommend this one!**

This is the peach cobbler that I made in August 2010.

In honor of Julie Lessman being my special guest on Valentine's Day, I'm going to share this peach cobbler recipe with you.  A little birdie told me that Julie LOVES peach cobbler!  Mind you, it is not my own recipe, but I have made it twice and can recommend it to you with TWO THUMBS UP!  It's delicious, and a definite "keeper" in my book.  I can't wait for my peach harvest to come in this summer!
 

Mmmm...Delicious!

Yield: 4 Servings

• 8 fresh peaches - peeled, pitted and sliced into thin wedges
• 1/4 cup white sugar
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup white sugar
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
• 1/4 cup boiling water
•  
• MIX TOGETHER:
• 3 tablespoons white sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Remove peaches from oven, and drop spoonfuls of topping over them. Sprinkle entire cobbler with the sugar and cinnamon mixture. Bake until topping is golden, about 30 minutes.
