Peach of a Cobbler

Free peaches is what the sign said while we were out walking last week. Quite a few had already fallen to the grass, so I selected the ripest of this group. Then, there was only one thing to do with them — make a peach cobbler.

This recipe is super easy. Everything needed was already in the pantry, including the 8x8 baking dish. Adding sugar to the peaches is optional. If the peaches are over-ripe, they may be sweet enough. If you use peaches canned in syrup, they should be sweet without added sugar.
