I have always loved to bake. Cookies, brownies and banana bread are always on my baking rotation. In the Fall I do love to bake an apple crumb pie, but have never ventured into other fruit. Peach season has been upon us and I have been so many of them! Asher loves all sorts of fruit so, I constantly have an array of fruits. The other day I noticed my peaches had gotten mushy, which meant Asher wouldn’t touch them, but I felt awful throwing them out. I decided to try my hand at a peach cobbler because I already knew how to make the topping with my apple crumb pie recipe. It was a hit and now I have made it a handful of times. It’s become everyone’s favorite dessert. You can make it all peach or throw in another fruit you like. I have added blueberries and strawberries and both work nicely. My take on effortless peach cobbler is super easy to make, requires no fancy baking equipment and can be prepped for the oven around 10 mins.
Step 1: Take your yummy peaches (6 average sized) and slice them. I have used ripe ones all the way to mostly mushy ones and they all work. Use a pie dish and just place them in the dish.
Step 2: If you have another fruit laying around that you want to try now is when you add them. Blueberries work really nicely. Here I had strawberries, which worked well as well in the taste department, but strawberries have a lot of water in them so the cobbler was a bit watery so I had to drain it a little bit when it came out of the oven.
Step 3: Toss the fruit with a 1/4 cup of sugar.
Step 4: Make the cobbler topping!
First up is the wet ingredients:
-1/2 cup of salted butter, melted
-1 teaspoon of vanilla that you can easily add to your melted butter
Then you need to mix your dry ingredients:
-1 cup of flour
-3/4 cup sugar
-1 teaspoon of baking powder
-1/4 teaspoon of salt
Then you simply mix it together!
Step 5: Piece it apart and place on top of fruit mixture:
Step 6: Bake at 350 for 35 mins. If you want to brown it a little bit more than place the oven on low-broil for an additional 3 mins or so.
Step 7: Let it cool for around 15 mins and then enjoy!
This cobbler will disappear in minutes. Everyone I have made it for has raved about it and gone for seconds! It’s Jon’s favorite new dessert.
I really love eating it while it’s warm with a scoop of ice cream!
My living room is one of the rooms that evolved drastically from when we first moved one. Originally I painted the walls chocolate brown and did accents of white, blue and orange. That lasted maybe 2 years.
Our dining room sat empty for months. Okay maybe it was empty for just a handful of weeks and then we couldn’t take it anymore and put in a folding table and plastic outdoor chairs, but in my mind that was still empty.
On the main floor of our house we have a Florida room. Being that it’s a Florida room it is a considered a 3 season room, because there is no heat in the room. The previous owners used it as an indoor patio with outdoor furniture and it looked like this when we moved in.
In our new home, the basement was completely unfinished. It was literally one of those dark spaces that you see in horror movies and are terrified of getting locked into. However, with the square footage in this house, I knew I needed to make the basement another workable and liveable floor of the house instead […]

However, the second most expensive part of a […]
I don’t think I’m alone in thinking that designing a kitchen is an overwhelming undertaking. I’m an interior designer and even I find it stressful to iron out all of those details. So, when it comes time to design a kitchen I always like to partner with a kitchen designer to make sure I’m remembering […]
