How to Make Peach Cobbler

One of the greatest joys for me during the summer is enjoying all of the delicious fruits that become available, like the peach. There's nothing like them. Particularly if you can pick them up fresh at the farmer's market or even go to an orchard and pick them yourself. You know, fresh peaches and homemade deserts just seem to go together and what could be more old fashioned and delicious than a peach cobbler. My recipe for peach cobbler is simple and doesn't take much time to make, that's once you get the peaches peeled. I start with about ten medium size peaches, peeled and sliced, and to this I add a fourth of a cup of white sugar and a fourth of a cup of brown sugar. And for a little seasoning a half a teaspoon of salt and a half a teaspoon of apple pie spice which contains cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice. And as a final ingredient I like to add a couple of tablespoons of apricot brandy. This really brings out the flavor. Now once I get this in, I just mix it all together. Then I just pour it into the pie crust. With this cobbler recipe you can make your own pie crust or you can certainly use pre-made, but I always like to weave the top layer like this. Then I brush on egg white and sprinkle it with sugar just to give it that homemade touch. Now I cook this at three-fifty for about an hour and the aroma is fantastic. This'll be delicious with some homemade vanilla ice cream. Now if you'd like this recipe and other classic, summer favorites just check out our website. From the garden, I’m P. Allen Smith.
