What could be a more perfect ending to a summertime meal than easy peach cobbler? Savor the flavors of summer with sliced fresh peaches cooking away with butter and spices. The topping can made from pantry ingredients you have on hand and peaches can easily be substituted with any fruit you have depending on the time of year. The tang of the lemon juice paired with the sweetness of the peaches is perfectly balanced with the crisp topping. Want to make dessert even better? A dollop of fresh whipped cream or cold vanilla ice cream truly makes it the perfect way to end a summer night.
Please, summer, don’t leave us. WE NEED YOU. We need fresh peach cobblers resting warm out of the oven on our counters. We need it scooped into bowls and swimming with a plop of melty vanilla ice cream, and we need it cold in our fridge asking us – demanding us – to eat peach cobbler for breakfast.
