Contest-Winning Peach Cobbler
Canned peaches make this cobbler quick to assemble. The tender topping pairs nicely with the sweet fruit filling and butterscotch sauce. The sauce should always be served warm. —Ellen Merick, North Pole, Alaska
Ingredients
- 2 cans (29 ounces each) sliced peaches
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 6 tablespoons quick-cooking tapioca
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, optional
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice

- topping:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour

Directions

2In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt; cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in eggs. Drop by spoonfuls onto peach mixture; spread evenly. Bake at 350° until filling is bubbly and a toothpick inserted in topping comes out clean, 50-55 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes.
