So for some mysterious reason I have been craving peaches lately. Can't tell you why since I have never EVER been a fan of them. Something about that fuzzy skin was always so off-putting for me. This weekend I decided to satisfy my craving now that peach season is in full swing. I found a recipe claiming to be the best peach cobbler I'd ever have- a claim, in hindsight with which I do not agree. Don't get me wrong, it was good, but I found it to be much too sweet for my tastes. The recipe was easy and I had everything I needed on hand but I doubt I would make it again. the recipe says you can use other fruits so maybe something more tart would offset the sweetness of the dessert. I actually enjoyed eating the peeled and cubed pieces of fruit better than the cobbler itself. But, if you would like to try it here is the recipe.
Best Cobbler You’ve Ever Had
1 box yellow cake mix (not baked, just the powder)
1/3 cup butter, softened
2 eggs
30 ounces canned peaches, drained (or 4 fresh peaches, peeled and pitted)
8 ounces cream cheese
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
Vanilla ice cream
- Preheat oven
to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, combine cake mix, butter, and 1 egg.
Mix ingredients until crumbly. Separate ½ cup of crumble for topping.
- Spray a 9x13 glass dish with cooking spray. Press remaining crumble into base of dish.
- Bake for 10 minutes. While crust bakes, slice peaches into small, 1 inch pieces.
- Beat
together cream cheese, sugar, 1 egg, and vanilla until creamy. Layer
peaches on top of baked crust. Spread cream cheese mixture on top of
peaches.
- Top
with reserved crumbs and bake for 30 minutes. Allow to cool for 30
additional minutes and serve with vanilla ice cream.
