I’ve been utterly in love with cobbler since I first took a chunk of my grandma’s blackberry model a long time in the past. So far as desserts go, it’s simply such an approachable one, rustic and homey however as scrumptious as any highfalutin deal with you should purchase out of a pastry case. The mixture of the doughy topping (ideally with only a kiss of salt) and candy and tender cooked-down fruit is pretty much as good because it will get, particularly when it’s topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. And if cobbler is pretty much as good because it will get, this Southern Peach Cobbler is pretty much as good as cobbler will get — it’s achieved excellent and it’s tremendous simple to make.
