Prep Time: 30 minutes

Cooking Time: 50-55 minutes

Resting Time: 20 minutes

Special Tools: 8 cup baking dish

6 cups sliced fresh peaches (about 10-12 peaches)

1/3 cup packed brown sugar

¼ cup maple syrup or honey

3 Tbsp. lemon juice

½ tsp. ground cinnamon

2 cups AP flour

½ cup rolled oats

2/3 cup sugar

2 tsp. baking powder

½ tsp. salt

½ cup cold, unsalted butter

½ cup homogenized milk

1 egg

1 tsp. vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract

Place the sliced peaches in a bowl

Bring the brown sugar, maples syrup or honey, lemon juice and cinnamon to a simmer

Allow to simmer for 2-3 minutes while stirring

Pour the sugar mixture over the peaches and using a wooden spoon stir the peaches to coat

Place the peaches in an 8 cup baking dish

For the cobbler topping, preheat the oven to 375F

In a bowl, combine the flour, oats, sugar, baking powder and salt

Using a cheese grater, grate the cold butter directly into the flour mixture and stir it in to coat the butter

In a small bowl, combine the milk, vanilla and egg

Stir the milk mixture into the flour mixture until it comes together, but do not overmix

Spoon the soft dough onto the fruit, leaving a little space between the spoonfuls, this will allow for expansion during baking, and also allow some of the steam to escape

Bake the cobbler until it bubbles around the edges and the topping is cooked through, lifting a little piece up to check if necessary

Once cooked, remove from the oven and allow it to rest for at least 20 minutes before cutting into it.

When ready to serve, scoop out a generous portion of cobbler and serve it with another great local product, some delicious vanilla bean ice cream from Pinocchio Ice Cream.

Pinocchio has been serving up Edmonton’s most delicious ice cream, sorbet and gelato for over three decades now and you won’t meet a nicer guy in Tom. You can find almost all of his flavours throughout the city at several locations, like the Italian Centre Shops, Andy’s IGA, Planet Organic Edmonton North, and several others. For more information about Pinocchio Ice Cream check out their website at http://pinocchioicecream.ca or just pick up a pint and try it for yourself.
