End of season Peaches? Cobbler-ific!
Staring at a huge bowl of peaches, I am dismayed to find that half are perfect, half are mealy. What's a girl to do? Inspired by Sarah Kramer's recipe from her amazing cookbook La Dolce Vegan (Arsenal, 2005) I made a killer peach cobbler for the whole family - they loved it! 6 large organic peaches, pitted and cut into 1 inch chunks1/3 cup natural Sucanat sugar or agave syrup2 TB whole spelt flour1/4 tsp saltTopping:2 cups whole spelt flour1/2 tsp salt 3 tsp baking powder4 TB natural Sucanat sugar or agave syrup, divided4 TB Earth Balance vegan margarine, divided1 cup hemp, soy or rice milkDirections:
- Preheat the oven to 375. Lightly spread 1 TB Earth Balance around an 8 x 12 inch glass baking dish and set aside.
- In a large bowl, stir together the peaches, sucanat, 2 TB flour and 1/4 tsp salt.
- Spoon evenly into the baking dish and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, salt, baking powder and 2 TB sucanat. Add the Earth Balance and mash with your fingers or a fork until the flour looks sandy with many little pebbles. Add the milk and stir until just combined with the flour.
- Spoon evenly over the peaches and sprinkle the top with remaining sucanat.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the topping is browned. Let site for 5 minutes before serving.
- Makes 6 servings. **Serve with TEMPT Hemp milk ice cream!
