Peachy-Keen

During the summer I make peach cobbler because it's my husband's favorite and it's when peaches are super delicious and in season. Today I made a fresh Gluten Free Peach Cobbler and I thought I would share my recipe with you all! This is a recipe originally given to me by my Oma (Grandma). I have tweaked it quite a bit but it still makes a delicious cobbler like hers!

Oma's Peach Cobbler

(Gluten Free Mary Version)

Ingredients:

3 cups Peaches (about 5-6 whole peaches cut up)

1 cup of sugar (half of it for the crust and the other half for the peaches) 

1 Tbsp cinnamon

4oz. cream cheese (for dairy free use something like Tofutti...this is not a corn free brand though! I use regular organic cream cheese)

1/2 cup of All-puroose Gluten Free Flour (I use Bob's Redmill)

1/4 tsp baking soda (make sure no corn starch added for corn allergic)

1/4 tsp Xanthan Gum (Also a Bob's Product)

1 stick butter/margarine (something that's a buttery spread dairy-free is fine, just not shortening)

1 egg

1 tsp vanilla 

Directions:

Preheat the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit. For this cobbler you can use a pie dish or even a square eight inch dish. Just as long as you have about eight inches to work with! Dice peaches up and place in dish. Combine 1/2 cup of sugar and 1 Tbsp of cinnamon, our over peaches and mix together with a spoon. Set this aside for now. In a small bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and Xanthan Gum. The dry ingredient will be combined with the wet ingredients. In a larger mixing bowl, cream the cream cheese, butter/margarine, vanilla extract, and egg. Cream into a smooth mixture, then add the dry ingredients and mix. Pour this batter over the peaches and cover evenly. Don't worry if there are some peaches peaking through because the batter will rise and cover the peaches while baking. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 35-40 min, or until top and edges are a golden brown.

Enjoy this delicious recipe. If it doesn't come out beautiful remember that it takes awhile to get the hang of Gluten Free baking. Also, cobbler isn't perfect, it is meant to be scooped up not sliced so it can be messy :)  Try topping it off with dairy free Truwhip! So YUMMY!

More to Come,
Mary :)
