If you don't like this you are dead inside - cobbler

Just like the title says - this is soooo goooooddd and really easy to make.  It lasts for a fairly long time on the counter-top.  But it's so good you don't have to worry about how long it will last.

I am not a huge fan of peaches - I think it's the rich buttery flaky crispy stuff that is all around the peaches.  Honestly, I am sure you could omit peaches and use any other fruit you like and it would be just fine.

Here you go!

Trust me on this one - I have never had even one person not like this stuff -
And that has nothing to do with all of the pressure I put on people to try it - so much so that they would be totally cold-hearted to say anything bad about it - for fear that it would break my spirit~

Cobbler
4 cups peaches
1/2 cups water
2 cups sugar
8 tbsp butter
1 1/2 cups self rising flour
1 1/2 cups milk (at least 1%)
1/2 tsp Cinnamon
1/2 tsp Vanilla

Preheat oven to 350.

Combine peaches, vanilla and Cinnamon, and one cup of sugar in a sauce pan - mix and bring to a boil and gently boil for about 5 min. or what ever it takes to turn the peaches soft (you can use slightly under-ripe or even frozen peaches or fruit)

In a separate bowl combine the rest of the sugar, flour and milk.  Go slow and gentle so you don't get lumps

Melt the butter and place it in a baking pan - something around 9x12 or what ever pan you have that is around that size.  I use glass - if you use metal or disposable you will need to watch it while it cooks so it doesn't burn on the outside and stay mushy in the middle.

Spoon the fruit ontop of the melted butter - DO NOT STIRRRR

Spoon the bread mixture onto that - DO NOT STIRRRR - the idea is that the fruit will come up in random spaces around the dough to create a variegated surface.

Sprinkle a little Cinnamon across the top.

Bake for 30-45 min.  There is a big gap in there but for what ever reason I have had it done at those times and some in between.  To check for done-ness use a tooth pick and poke it into the bread/dough area and when it comes out either clean or with cake like pieces instead of wet/doughie pieces you are done.

Let cool for a while - it is the BEST when it's warm.  yummm.  Also good garnished with cool-whip or ice cream.
