Instructions

  • Mix it until combined.
  • Cover the dish with foil and cook mixture in the oven for 20 minutes.
  • While peaches are cooking, combine flour, both sugars, baking powder, salt, and ½ tablespoon of the cinnamon.
  • Work the cold stick of butter into the flour mixture by breaking it up with a pastry cutter or with hands.
  • Work it in until it looks like coarse meal or crumbles.
  • Add the hot water and stir together with a spoon until it's just combined.
  • Cobbler should have a drop biscuit-like texture.
  • Remove peaches from the oven and spoon dough mixture over the peaches.
  • Make each dough droplet about the size of a golf ball leaving a tiny bit of space between each one to ensure they cook through.

  • Place the dish back in the oven uncovered and cook for an additional 30-45 minutes, until crust is golden brown.

Notes

If (and when) our household has leftovers, we simply put them in an airtight container, or cover the dish with aluminum foil and place it in the refrigerator. When it’s time to reheat, simply pop it in a microwave, in a safe dish of course, and reheat for 30 seconds to 1 minute.
