Easiest dessert I've ever found.

However, I found that even 1.5 cups of sugar is a bit much - in fact,
I was thinking of cutting it in half, since the sugar was practically
all I could taste. (I'm very glad I didn't bother buying ice cream!)
Granted, the recipe calls for yellow peaches and I only had white ones
available. I was also thinking of using brown sugar in either the
crust or the peaches - can anyone tell me if this would be an
improvement by most people's standards? Also, maybe I'll use 50% wheat
flour next time - again, for the sake of flavor.

Has anyone tried these variations already? Your results? Thanks.

Lenona.

Fresh Peach Cobbler
recipe adapted from Southern Living, June 1997

1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups sugar, divided into 3/4 cup each
1 tbsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. kosher salt
1 cup milk
4 cups (about 4 large) fresh yellow peaches, cut into slices
1 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
1/4 tsp. lemon zest
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
1/8 tsp. nutmeg

Directions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Melt butter in a LARGE baking dish or dutch oven.

Combine flour, 3/4 cup sugar, baking powder and kosher salt in a
medium bowl. Add milk and stir just until dry ingredients are
incorporated. Without stirring, pour batter over melted butter.

Heat remaining 3/4 cup sugar, fresh peach slices, lemon juice, lemon
zest, cinnamon and nutmeg over medium-high heat, stirring constantly.
Cook until sugar has melted and all ingredients are fully mixed.
Without stirring, pour the peach mixture over the batter. Don’t worry:
the crust will form over the peaches during baking. Sprinkle cobbler
crust with additional cinnamon or nutmeg, if desired.

Bake cobbler for 40-45 minutes or until golden brown. Serve cobbler
along with Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream, if desired.
