Yes, yes, I know I said that peach pie was in the future, but the pie decided to become a cobbler because I worked that day. When career woman comes home, she becomes lazy momma. :)
Peach pie is still in the future though. I want to make more pies. I'm determined!!
But for now, we have a delicious, not-too-sweet peach cobbler. It's sweet enough to be dessert and it won't be sour against the ice cream, but it isn't rot-your-teeth sweet. However, if you are not a huge fan of sugar, then you could scale the sugar back a bit. It also depends how ripe your peaches are, for the softer peaches I am freezing for the winter, I would probably scale back on the sugar a bit.
By the way, the dish featured at the top is American hand thrown, hand painted pottery. As you know, I am crazy about pottery and have some from different countries. What I love the most about American pottery is that I can talk with the potter, which is more difficult to do with imported items. I can find out that on such-and-such day that piece was created and then shipped right to me. I love that. I can speak with the person that actually made it. Beyond cool.

Peach Filling
- 5 - 8 large fresh peaches (I used 5), peeled, pitted, sliced into wedges
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
- 1/4 cup boiling water
- 2 tablespoons white sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Preheat oven to 425F.
- In a large bowl, combine the peaches, 1/4 cup white sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Toss to coat and pour into a 2 quart baking dish. Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes.
- While that is cooking, combine the flour, 1/4 cup white sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, baking powder and salt. Blend the butter with your fingertips or a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in the water until just combined.
- Remove the peaches from the oven and drop spoonfuls of the dough over the top, spreading it out a bit as you go. Sprinkle on the cinnamon sugar mixture. Bake for 30 minutes, until topping is golden brown.

I need to make a cobbler. I still have peaches from last summer in the freezer! But weddign planning is getting intense so cooking is being reduced to the uncomplicated dishes.
This looks yummy.
Beautiful pottery. I love it as well and love collecting beautiful pieces. I probably would scale back the sugar, but only just a little bit:)It looks really good though
Wow, Elsa this looks delicious!
