Easy Quick Peach Cobbler

On July 19, 2021

My peach tree is full of peaches, so this recipe was tonight’s dessert. It was delicious! I modified it slightly from this recipe.

4 peaches, diced (I left the skin on them)
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 cup flour (I used gluten free all purpose flour)
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
3/4 cup milk

Preheat oven to 375.
In an 8 x 8 glass dish, add the butter. Put it in the microwave and melt the butter.
In a mixing bowl, add the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar and cinnamon. Mix well.
Add the milk and stir.
Spread over the melted butter.
Sprinkle the diced peaches over the top.
Bake for 40 – 55 minutes, or until set.
Top with whipped cream or ice cream, if desired. I topped it with vanilla ice cream.

This recipe was adapted from a recipe in Hannaford’s fresh magazine, July/August 2019 issue, called Mema’s Wacky Cake. I cut down on the sugar and swapped out vegetable oil for applesauce. I also used Bob’s Red Mill 1 to 1 Baking Flour to make it gluten free.

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 Tbs vanilla extract
1 Tbs white vinegar
6 Tbs applesauce
1 cup cold water
Vanilla frosting or whipped cream for topping

Preheat oven to 350.
In an 8″ square baking pan, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder and baking soda.

When they are cooled, melt the chocolate squares and coconut oil/shortening in the microwave. Dip each candy piece into the chocolate, covering all sides.
