Who doesn’t love peach cobbler? This decadent dessert is a southern treat; talk about southern hospitality! I had my shot at preparing my first ever peach cobbler last Christmas Eve. How did it turn out you ask? Let’s just say my sisters and I fought each other for the last piece. Sort of, well not really. The recipe has simple and readily accessible ingredients plus a secret special ingredient! Even if peaches aren’t in season, frozen peaches will do. The recipe is not my own. I retrieved it online from Allrecipes.com and the recipe is from Aeposey. So here is what you will need:
For the Filling:
8 fresh peaches- peeled, pitted, and sliced into thin wedges – if you don’t have fresh peaches frozen will do plus it will save you the grunt work of peeling and pitting peaches
¼ cup of white sugar
¼ cup of brown sugar
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice 2 teaspoons cornstarch
For the Crust:
1 cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup of white sugar
¼ cup of brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
¼ cup of boiling water

For the Sprinkle Topping:
3 tablespoons white sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Special Ingredient: Love (food always tastes better when you cook it from your heart)
Directions:
1. So the first thing you would need to do is preheat your oven to 425 degrees F or (220 degrees C).
2. The next step is for you to combine all of your filling ingredients in a large bowl. This is your ¼ cup of white sugar, ¼ cup of brown sugar, peaches, cinnamon, lemon juice, nutmeg, cornstarch and peaches. Make sure that the peaches are coated evenly put this in a baking dish (a 2 quart one is recommended) and bake it in the oven and your preheated temperature for 10 minutes.
3. While the peaches are baking you are going to work your crust: you are going to combine all of your crust ingredients except the water. This is your flour, baking powder, salt, ¼ cup white sugar, ¼ cup brown sugar, and butter. Press in butter with your fingers until the mixture texture resembles coarse meal. Add water until combined.
4. Remove your peaches from the oven and add the topping over it with a spoon. (If you don’t have enough toppings to cover your peaches repeat step three and add the additional topping to your peaches). Sprinkle the entire cobbler with white sugar and cinnamon mixture (again if you need more sprinkles make another mixture and add it to the top). Bake until mixture is golden brown or about 30 minutes.
5. Enjoy! (or eat and repeat if you prefer).
