Southern Peach Cobbler



















Filling
- 2 cans of peaches
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch

Crust
- 1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
- 1/4 cup boiling water

Topping
- 3 tablespoons white sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

2. In a large bowl, combine peaches, 1/4 cup white sugar, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Toss to coat evenly, and pour into a baking dish. Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes.

3. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine flour, 1/2 cup white sugar, baking powder, and salt. Blend in butter with your fingertips until mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in water until just combined.

4. Remove peaches from oven, and drop spoonfuls of topping over them. Sprinkle entire cobbler with the sugar and cinnamon mixture. Bake until topping is golden, about 25 minutes.



















Notes: We added juice from one of the cans of peach and two more tablespoons of cornstarch. We simmered the dish in the oven until the liquid was evaporated. The fruit ended up being too sweet; will use less sugar in the filling.
