Southern Peach Cobbler

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Step 2

In a large bowl, fold the peaches, 1/4 cup each white and brown sugars, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice and cornstarch until all ingredients are well combined.

Step 3

Pour fruit mixture into a 9X13 inch baking dish.

Step 4

Place in preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes.

Step 5

While peaches are in the oven, mix together all the cake topping ingredients, except the boiling water, to a medium bowl.

Step 6

Use a pastry blender to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture looks like coarse meal.

Step 7

Pour in the boiling water and stir just until the mixture comes together and is just mixed through.

Step 8

After the peaches have baked the 10 minutes, pull them from the oven and drop large spoonfuls of the dough topping over peaches.

Step 9

Evenly sprinkle the top of the dough with the 3 tablespoons of sugar.

Step 10

Place the baking dish on a cookie sheet, in case the cobbler bubbles over and drips, and bake for 30 minutes or until the topping is golden and baked through and the peaches are tender.
