Peach Cobbler

3 peaches, diced

1/4 cup sugar

1/2 cup butter

1/2 cup sugar

1 tsp. vanilla

1 cup flour

1 tsp. baking powder

pinch of salt

1/2 cup milk

Combine peaches and 1/4 cup sugar, spread in an 8x8 pan. Combine the rest and spread over top of peaches. Bake 40 minutes at 350.

 

This version also works with canned peaches, if you drain them first. I would also cut the sugar in half that you sprinkle on them in the pan.

 

Version 2:

28 oz. can of sliced peaches

1 yellow cake mix

1/2 cup butter

1/2 tsp. cinnamon

Pour peaches with juice in 9x13 pan. Top with cake mix. Dot with small slices of butter, sprinkle with cinnamon. Bake 45 minutes at 350.
