Fruit Cobbler

Mom's probably had this recipe since Brent Carr and I were old enough for Luther League, the church high school youth group. Brent's mom, Kim, probably brought this for one of the carry-ins.

Fruit Cobbler (Peach or Apple)

1/2 c. oleo
3 c. sliced peaches w/ syrup
2 c. flour
2 c. sugar
1 t. salt
2 t. baking powder
2 c. milk
cinnamon (optional)

Melt butter in 13x9 pan. Add fruit and syrup. Combine remaining ingredients. Pour over fruit. Lightly fold in. Bake at 350° for 50 min. Serve warm with ice cream or Cool Whip.

Was very good with apples. Diced and cooked on a stove top with a little water to get syrup. Added cinnamon to mix.

Cook longer if using extra fruit.

Last weekend, Mom asked if I'd make something with her peach pie filling. She wanted to take the treat into the office to share as they near the end of tax season.

I substituted 1 quart of Mom's canned peach pie filling for the 3 c. of sliced peaches. With the extra fruit, Mom suggested bumping the milk up to 2-1/3 c. I sprinkled some cinnamon on top before baking, but you really couldn't tell afterwards. I'm pretty sure I only cooked it for 50 minutes, and it toothpick tested done.
