Peach Cobbler

Each summer we look forward to harvesting our Red Baron peaches so that I can make this Peach Cobbler. We had such a large harvest last year that I had to scour the internet for recipes to use up the excess peaches. I wanted to make something like a peach cobbler or pie since it would use up a lot of the peaches. I really didn't want to make a peach pie because I just don't like dealing with pie crust. And, I'm not a big fan of the traditional cobbler recipe, with the biscuit topping. I came upon this Peach Cobbler recipe from FoodNetwork.com that turned out to be a nice cross between a crisp and a cobbler. I love that it's so simple to make- there's only 6 ingredients and I always have all the ingredients on hand. It's a family favorite!
