Back-to-School Favorite: Peach Cobbler

August 18, 2013

One of the perks of living in Cache Valley is the proximity to Brigham City peaches. Due to the plethora of fresh fruit available, the end of summer is one of my favorite times of the year.

 Here is a basic recipe for cobbler:

7-9 large peaches, peeled and sliced
1/2 c honey (in liquid form)
1/2 tsp almond extract

2 c flour
3/4 c sugar
2 dashes salt
2 tsp baking powder
2 eggs

1 c melted butter


Toss peaches, honey, and almond extract and pour into a 9x13 pan. In a mixing bowl, combine dry ingredients and and eggs. Mix until crumbly. Spread over the peaches and evenly pour the melted butter over the top. Bake at 325° for 35-40 minutes. Serve with whipped cream. Serves 8-12.

Flour:
1 c oat flour
1/2 c almond flour
1/4 c brown rice flour
1/4 c tapioca starch
1 tsp xanthan gum



*You can substitute almost any fruit for this cobbler. For other fruit, take out the almond extract and the honey and add 1 1/4 c sugar to the crumble. If using apples, also sprinkle 1 tsp cinnamon, and 1/2 tsp nutmeg on the apples.
