Grandmom's Peach Cobbler

There are 1000 different ways to make peach cobbler, this is my version.

One of my family's favorite desserts is my grandmother's cobbler. I will always associate cobbler with my grandmom.

Before she passed away, I can remember calling her for the recipe. Problem was, my grandmother didn't need measuring utensils to cook.  She eyeballed everything!  So naturally, the first few times I made it I was disappointed when it didn’t turn out just right.  Fast forward to 2012…I have now perfected my grandma's recipe.

The perfect summer comfort food.  It just wouldn't be summer without cobbler.  Serve with vanilla ice cream and it's delicious! Indulge!  You won't be sorry you did!

Ingredients:

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup very cold butter

10 to 12 large peaches, peeled and sliced
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup butter, cut it into small pieces
1/4 cold water

Directions:
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.  Butter the inside of a 2-1/2 quart baking dish.

Combine 1 cup flour, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and the cold, diced butter in a large bowl.  Using a pastry blender or a fork combine until mixture is crumbly.  Cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for at least one hour, to set. 

Place sliced peaches into the bottom of baking dish.  Sprinkle sugar, then cinnamon evenly on top of peaches.  Top with small butter pieces.     

Take the mixture out of the refrigerator.  Use a fork to separate crumbs, then sprinkle evenly over peaches.  Drizzle cold water over top.

Bake for 1 hour, until the top is lightly browned and the juices are bubbly.  Serve warm.
