Peach Nut Cobbler for a Rainy Summer Day

Try this delicious Peach Cobbler today and you will never look at fruit the same way again.

 

Don’t you just love the rains? The sweet scent of earth, the cool breeze, the wet leaves; everything looks so clean and fresh, like the world’s just stepped out of a shower. Summer is saying its goodbyes and everyday the mercury slips a little lower. This is the perfect weather for a warm delicious dessert to go with your evening coffee.

I always thought a cobbler was someone who fixed your broken shoes, until I saw it mentioned in one of the cookery shows on Food Network. It looked something like an upside down pie and fruit pie has always been a weakness for me.

I’m not a big fan of eating fruit as-is, but change their form by cooking or baking and I can’t keep my hands off them.

Cobbler is a very simple recipe and just needs some basic ingredients. The best part is that you can make it from almost any fruit. So if peaches are not available use mangoes or apples or even berries. Also, if you cannot be bothered with the peeling, you can use canned fruit as well.

The walnuts add a crunch to the gooey-fruity-lusciousness; you can skip it if you don’t like nuts.

You must try it atleast once and I promise you will want to make it again and again.

What we need:

Peaches – 4-5 nos

Walnuts – ½ cup roughly chopped
Brown Sugar – ½ cup (you can also use regular white sugar)
Butter – ¼ cup
Cinnamon Powder – a pinch (optional)

For the Batter:

Flour – 1 cup
Sugar ¾ cup
Baking powder – 2 tsp
Milk – 1 cup and a little over
Salt – a pinch

How we do it:

Pre heat your oven to 180^oC. Take a baking dish and put the butter in it. I’ve used a 9x13 rectangular glass dish. You can use a round dish if you want.

Place the baking tray into your oven which is heating up and the butter will get melted in no time. Once the butter is melted, take out the tray and prepare your other ingredients.

Peel the skin of your peach and cut into bite size pieces. Combine with the brown sugar and cinnamon and keep aside. There should be enough peach to cover your baking dish.
 

Making the Batter
Mix well all the dry ingredients well. Add milk and make it a slightly runny batter.

Assembling the cobbler:

Spread the peach pieces on the melted butter in your baking tray. Sprinkle the walnut on top of this.

 

Finally pour the batter evenly so it covers the fruit but do not stir it.

Bake for 40 minutes until the batter cracks at the top and turns a golden brown.

 

Your Peach and Nut cobbler is ready. Serve it warm with vanilla ice-cream. Yummm!!!
