Southern Peach Cobbler
No matter what time of year, nothing beats a warm scoop of peach cobbler with its perfect balance of sweet and tangy flavors. If fresh peaches aren’t in season, you can use unsweetened frozen peaches. The buttery cake-like top sets this cobbler apart from others. Top with vanilla ice cream for the perfect dessert experience.

Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°.
Peel, core and slice peaches, and place in a large mixing bowl. Add 1 cup sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, vanilla and spices. Stir until well combined. Set aside to rest for about 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, place milk and butter in a microwave-safe container and cook on HIGH just until butter is melted, about 45 seconds. Stir until well combined.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together flour, remaining 1 cup sugar, baking powder and salt. Gradually pour in milk and butter mixture, whisking until smooth. Mixture should resemble the consistency of pancake batter.
Pour peaches and any juices into a 13-x 9-inch baking dish, spreading into an even layer. Pour batter evenly over peaches; do not stir.
If desired, sprinkle top with about 2 tablespoons of sugar. Bake at 350° for 55-60 minutes or until crust is golden brown and peaches are bubbly around edges.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Serve with vanilla ice cream.
