The Peach Compote
- 8-10 fresh peaches
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tbsp fresh squeezed lemon juice
The Cobbler
- 1 stick melted unsalted butter
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 cup milk
- ground cinnamon
Instructions
The Peach Compote
- Peel, pit, and slice the peaches.
- Taste a peach slice. If it's pretty sweet, reduce the amount of sugar you're going to add. This is something you'll have to experiment with, but go ahead and use the whole cup the first time you make it.Place the peach slices in a medium sized pot and stir in the sugar and lemon juice. Bring the mixture to a boil while stirring frequently to make sure you don't burn the compote.
The Cobbler
- Preheat oven to 375F
- Mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt thoroughly in a mixing bowl.
- Pour the milk over the dry mix and incorporate well without over mixing. There should be lumps in the mix when your done, but everything should be wet.
- Pour the melted butter in a 9×13 baking dish.
- pour the cobbler mixture into the butter and make sure it's spread around the whole dish.
- Spoon the compote onto the cobbler mix, but don't stir, just spoon it evenly around the dish, then sprinkle a bit of cinnamon over the top.
- Place the dish in the oven and bake for around 45 minutes. The cobbler crust should be fairly solid on the top, but chewy underneath.
- Serve with your favorite creamy ice cream.
