Peach Cobbler

 Hubby is not a huge fan of sweets, but he does like things made with real fruit.  I found a delicious recipe for peach cobbler on Allrecipes.com and I decided to give it a try.

I went to Costco and bought a large container of fresh peaches.  Unfortunately, they weren't the sweetest peaches I'd ever had, but they were juicy. 

I also made homemade vanilla ice cream to go with the cobbler.

Once the cobbler was done I had to taste it as soon as I took it out of the oven.  It was perfect!!

Even though the peaches I used weren't the sweetest, the cobbler was exceptional.  It had just the right amount of sweetness and the crust was terrific.   

The ice cream was the perfect touch.  This will be my go-to recipe for peach cobbler from now on.
