Peach Cobbler

 

 This recipe is for what I like to call Peach Cobbler, but my Granny always called it Fruit Pudding. I always thought pudding was more of the Bill Cosby, J-E-L-L-O brand type of thing. Now this cobbler won't make you shoes, but it will make you smile! I made a few changes to my Granny's recipe to make it my own, and also to keep the family secret, but I've been assured this version is just as delicious. 

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cook Time- 40-60 minutes

Ingredients: 

Dough:

1- cup peach cider, peach juice, or milk (Personally, I use peach cider from a local farm here, but you may not live where the peaches grow, and that's just fine.)

1- cup sugar

2- cups flour

2- teaspoons Baking Powder

1/4- teaspoon salt

1/2- teaspoon cinnamon

1/2- cup vegetable oil

Fruit Mixture:

2- cups Peaches (Again, I use fresh peaches, peel and slice them, about 3-4 peaches depending on the size, but you can use a can the 1lb 13oz can)

2- teaspoons vanilla

1 1/4- cups of  sugar

1/4- teaspoon salt

2- cups peach cider, peach juice, or milk

1/2 stick unsalted butter

1) Preheat the oven to 350 degrees

2) In a 9x13 pan mix all of the dough ingredients, make sure the consistency is like cake batter.

3) In a large mixing bowl, combine the fruit, vanilla, sugar, and salt.

4) In a medium pot bring the cider/juice/milk and margarine to a boil. Stir constantly to keep from separating. 

5) Pour the boiling mixture over the fruit in the bowl, stirring until all of the sugar has dissolved. 

6) Carefully pour the fruit mixture over the dough, and place in the oven.

7) Cook for 40-60 minutes depending on the oven. Dough should rise around the fruit and should be golden brown. (See picture above.)
