Fresh Peach Cobbler

Pick up some fresh peaches at the market & make this delicious Peach Cobbler! It is simple & very good. Serve it with ice cream or not…..

This recipe was given to me by a lady I knew …she told me that this recipe was good & I believed her & asked her for the recipe

This cobbler is good made with any kind of fruit…plums, pears,  I have used canned fruit as well as fresh but I prefer it with fresh fruit..so I always make it in the summer at least once!!

I doubled the recipe & found that it was too much cake for me…& the pan overflowed so I will give you the recipe for a 9 x 9 square pan… if you double it, I would double the fruit but not the topping, so there is more fruit then cake…unless you want more cake them fruit….

Here is the recipe
