Peach Cobbler

Recently I needed an easy, cheap, tasty dessert to share with a couple who'd had a baby. Baking things from scratch is typically cheaper, but cakes are not my favorite thing to make. They're so unpredictable! Anyway, in this case I decided to make a peach cobbler. There are a lot of different ways to make cobbler - this is just one of the easiest.

Peach Cobbler

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups sugar
2 tablespoons baking powder
2 cups milk
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter or margarine
1 teaspoon cinnamon
3 cups chopped peaches
1/2 teaspoon maple extract

Preheat oven to 350°. Melt butter in a 9 x 13 baking dish. Mix together flour, sugar, baking powder and milk until smooth. Pour over butter. In a separate bowl, stir together peaches, cinnamon and extract. Sprinkle the fruit over the batter in the pan. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until peaches are tender and crust is golden brown. Serve warm!

(As you can see from the pictures, I used a smaller, square pan. I just halved the ingredients.)
