This healthier version lets you enjoy sweetness from the peaches, not added sugar. Ingredients:
8 fresh peaches - peeled, pitted, and sliced into thin wedges |
2 tablespoons brown sugar |
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice |
2 teaspoons cornstarch |
1 cup whole wheat pastry flour |
1/4 cup white sugar |
1/4 cup brown sugar |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces |
1/4 cup boiling water |
2 tablespoons brown sugar |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
2. Combine peaches, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and cornstarch in a large bowl. Toss to coat evenly, and pour into a 2-quart baking dish.
3. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, combine flour, white sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Blend in butter with your fingertips or a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in water until just combined.
5. Remove peaches from oven, and drop spoonfuls of flour mixture over them.
6. Mix together 2 tablespoons brown sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Sprinkle entire cobbler with the sugar and cinnamon mixture. Bake until topping is golden, about 30 minutes.
