Peach Cobbler

Peaches are one of summer's treasures. We used to have a peach tree and nothing is better than fresh, organic peaches right off the tree. Peach smoothies, salsa and cobbler are all close seconds. It's an easy recipe but takes a little time. Frozen peaches are perfect for this because they’re already peeled and sliced (you can also used canned but the texture will be a little more mushy). If you can get peaches off someones tree, great! If not, buy organic, peaches are one on the “dirty dozen” list. If you like more cobbler on the top, it's easy to double the topping.

Peach Cobbler

1 cup whole wheat or unbleached flour (oat flour if you want it gluten free)

2 Tbsp sugar

1 1/2 tea baking powder

1/2 tea cinnamon

1/4 vegan butter

5-6 cups sliced peaches

1/3-2/3 cups sugar

1 Tbsp corn starch

1/4 cup water

1/4 cup plant milk

2 tsp vanilla divided

Preheat oven to 400. For the topping, in a medium bowl stir the flour, 2 Tbsp sugar, baking powder and cinnamon. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the plant milk until you have a slightly sticky biscuit type dough. Set aside.

For the filling, in a large pot combine the peaches, the sugar, cornstarch, water (you don’t need to use water if they’re frozen) and 1 tsp vanilla. Let stand for a few minutes. Cook and stir until slightly thickened. Pour into a 9x13 pan if your doubling the recipe a lasagna pan will work. Add the topping and bake about 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Serve with vegan whipped cream or ice cream and enjoy!
