How to make an old fashioned peach cobbler just like Grandma would make.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups sliced peaches (canned)
  • 2 tablespoons soft brown sugar

Topping

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons sugar

    4. Mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl. Add the cream and stir until just combined (the dough will be quite wet).
    5. Spoon the cobbler dough onto the top of the fruit mixture in the baking dish.
    6. Smooth the batter with the back of a spoon, and sprinkle with brown sugar.
    7. Bake in preheated oven for 40 to 50 minutes until crust is golden brown.
