Granny Gillespie’s Peach Cobbler

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Step 2

Combine peaches with brown sugar and almond extract in a small mixing bowl. Allow this to sit for approximately 5 minutes for juices to collect. Spoon this mixture into the bottom of an 8x8 baking dish, leaving behind the collected juices and set aside.

Step 3

Using the same mixing bowl as the peaches. Combine the reserved juices, melted butter, egg, cinnamon, vanilla extract, milk, and flour. Whisk this mixture together to create a batter.

Step 4

Toss bread cubes into the batter and stir to coat evenly.

Step 5

Spoon the bread cubes and batter over the top of the peaches in the pan in an even layer. You should have approximately the same volume of peaches on the bottom as you have bread on top. Lightly sprinkle sea salt over the top of the bread mixture.

Step 6

Wrap the pan in aluminum foil and place in the preheated oven. Bake for 30 minutes before removing the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 15 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 7

Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 15 minutes before serving. Serve either alone or with vanilla ice cream.
