Peach Cobbler Cake

I was looking for something to make with peaches and came across this recipe.  I took it to a church activity and everyone loved it.  Then we had a Relief Society dinner before the Relief Society broadcast last month and guess what they had for dessert?  You guessed it--Peach Cobbler Cake!  

Peach Cobbler Cake

1 box yellow cake mix
1/3 cup butter at room temperature
2 large eggs
Large can of peaches (about 29 oz.) or fresh peaches
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  In a large bowl combine the cake mix, butter and 1 egg.  Mix with a fork until crumbly.  Set aside 1/2 of this crumb mixture to put on top of cake.

Spray a 9 x 13 glass dish with cooking spray.  Press the crumb mixture into the bottom of the dish.  Bake for 10 minutes. 

While crust is baking, slice peaches into 1 inch pieces and layer on top of cooked crust.

In a small bowl, beat together the cream cheese, sugar, 1 egg, and vanilla.  Spread this mixture on top of peaches.  Top with reserve crumbs and bake for 30 minutes.  Let cool for 30 minutes before serving. 

 Serve with vanilla ice cream or just eat it plain.  It's delicious!

** The best thing about this recipe is that you can have peach cobbler all year round because you can use canned peaches.

Country Style Baked Apples

Is it September already?  Where did July and August go?  Well, I'm back and I have lots of recipes to share.  September is apple time and my friend, Janelle, brought me some apples from the mountains. They were (notice I said were) so delicious.  Since the apples were so sweet and yummy raw, I knew they would be great baked.  ( HINT: If the apples don't taste good raw, it probably won't taste good cooked.)  So here is an apple cobbler recipe that will tickle your taste buds.  Serve it warm and don't forget to add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top!

Country Style Baked Apples

4 cups sliced apples, peeled
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup flour
1 stick butter, softened
1/2 cup water
Pinch of salt
Dash of cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 
Place sliced apples in a 9 x 13 baking dish. 
Mix the sugar, flour and butter until crumbly and sprinkle over apples. 
In a small bowl (I used my measuring cup) mix the water, salt and cinnamon together.  Pour over the flour mixture. 
Bake about 40 - 50 minutes until done and slightly browned.

Susan's Berry Peach Fruit Cobbler

Here is a delicious recipe from my friend Susan.  It is very similar to my Peach Cobbler recipe.  Susan mixed peaches with blackberries and served it with vanilla ice cream on top.  Mmmm!  It was sooooo good! 

Susan's Berry Peach Fruit Cobbler

1 egg
1 cup self-rising flour
1 teaspoon vanilla

Mix above ingredients and crumble over sliced fruit (peaches, blueberries, blackberries, or mix them up!).

Melt 4 Tablespoons of butter and pour over batter.  Bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees. 

Peach Cobbler

I love summer recipes--especially when it is a peach recipe. Did you know that South Carolina grows more peaches than Georgia? As a matter of fact our state fruit is the peach. Here is a peach cobbler recipe that is easy and delicious.

Peach Cobbler

4 - 6 cups of fresh sliced peaches
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
1 cup self-rising flour
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1/2 stick butter melted

Preheat oven to 375. Place fresh sliced peaches in a baking dish. Sprinkle with lemon juice.
Put flour, sugar, and egg in a small bowl. Mix until lumpy. Spoon over top of peaches. Pour melted butter on tope. Bake at 375 for 30 minutes until bubbly and browned on top.


I love to serve this with vanilla frozen yogurt on top.
My favorite is Edy's Yogurt Blends. The peach is my favorite flavor and it tastes great on the the peach cobbler, too.

To peel the peaches easily, put the peaches in a bowl and cover with boiling water. Let this sit about 3 - 5 minutes and pour off water. When you go to peel the peaches, the skin will peel off very easily. Then you can slice and put in baking dish.
