Summer Peach Cobbler Recipe
So you want to make a peach cobbler? Summer is the perfect time for finding amazing berries and stone fruit, it’s my favorite, so much so, that a few years back when we moved to the South Bay a peach tree was one of the first things I planted in our yard.
With so many awesome local farmer’s markets, getting your hands on perfectly ripe, deliciously fresh peaches is pretty easy, and so is this cobbler recipe!
I love this for ending Sunday family dinner on a sweet note or serving at a bbq. Enjoy!

In a medium mixing bowl, combine flour, sugars, baking powder and salt. Chop butter into pea sized pieces and use your a pastry blender or fingertips to mix the butter in. You want to cut the butter in without melting it, so you’re going for a coarse, mealy texture. Use a light hand and stir in water until just combined.
Remove peaches from oven, drop large spoonfuls of the dough over the peaches until it’s gone!
Mix 2 tbsp sugar ½ tsp cinnamon and lightly sprinkle over the top.
