Great Great Grandma's Fresh Peach Cobbler

JT'sMom's Note:

This recipe has been in my family for generations. The brown sugar and the juices from the fresh peaches caramelize as the batter on top bakes into a moist cake. This is wonderful served warm with heavy cream, whipped cream, or ice cream. **NOTE: The number of peaches needed will depend on their size. You want an even layer, covering the bottom of your baking dish. I have use anywhere from 4 large peaches to 6 small peaches. If you place your peaches into a pot of boiling water for about 30 - 40 seconds and then into cold water, the peels come off very easy. Another tip; before peeling (after the plunge into the boiling water), take your paring knife and starting from the stem end, slice around the peach ending were you started, then while holding each half, twist in opposite directions to release the pit (much like you would like an avocado). Then peel and slice. If you have really sweet peaches, you can adjust the brown sugar to 3/4 cup.

We enjoyed this recipe! I cut the recipe in half with no problems and made in a 9x9 pan. The recipe is very easy to make and tastes like a good old fashioned cobbler. Thanks for posting!!

We made this this weekend, using frozen peaches that we picked off of our tree last summer and vacuum sealed. This was VERY GOOD and super easy! Next time I might use a bit less of the sugars. I did add cinnamon to the top.
