Peach Cobbler

I realize that the majority of my posts are DESSERTS! I guess you can tell I'm a huge fan, and dessert is always that "something extra" the little icing on the cake, or just a great excuse to enjoy something tasty with those you love.

With it being fall and peaches in season - I always crave peach desserts...

I made this cobbler with a friend last night and it was instant success. #1) because it tasted good and #2) it's super easy since the ingredients you actually always have around.

I have made this dish with both fresh and canned peaches and it is still amazing--even my grandma wanted the recipe and I knew I'd arrived since she has lived long enough to have her share of cobblers. I really love the strussel/crunch type cobbler as well, but the recipe below is more "dutch oven-ish" style - if you catch my jist.

Also - there was a big debate on the "al a mode" factor. It just isn't peach cobbler with out the ice cream. I guess I would have to agree. I love the combo of chilled ice cream and warm cobbler.
