Ingredients:

  • 8 – 10 fresh peaches, pitted, peeled and sliced (about 4 cups)

  • 1/2 Teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 pouch (1lb 1.5oz) Betty Crocker® sugar cookie mix

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375°F

Spray a 3 quart or 9 x 13 inch glass-baking dish with cooking spray. Add the peaches, sprinkle the sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and cornstarch on top of the peaches, and mix lightly with a spoon to coat.  Dot the top of the fruit with the 3 tablespoons of butter.

With your hands, grab a golf ball-sized ball portion of dough and press into a 1/4 inch thick pancake. Place dough on top of the peaches and repeat, covering most of the top of the peaches. If you have any dough left over just make some cookies with it.

Cooking Tips:

Placing the fresh peaches whole in a pot of boiling water for a minute helps the skin to easily peel off. Just boil them in boiling water for one minute and remove them, then slice and peel.

You can bake the cobbler ahead of time and warm it in the oven for a few minutes before serving.

Serve warm with whipped cream or ice cream.
