Dutch Oven Peach Cobbler
The weather in Michigan has been bi-polar this season. We have gone from 15-degrees to 50-degrees in a matter of hours more than once. This lack of consistency has caused me to get super sick. I was ill for 3 whole weeks, and couldn't kick it, but I am finally feeling better and happy to get back to sharing the fun in my household.
For Christmas, my husband bought me a set of two cast iron Dutch ovens. They are so pretty and I have been itching to dig them out and see what I could make with them.
While trying to decide what to make, I glanced at my calendar and realized it was National Oatmeal Month. Oatmeal is a heart healthy grain that let's you add fiber to your diet. I definitely wanted to use some in this cooking adventure, so I settled on Dutch Oven Peach Cobbler. It has a yummy oatmeal crumble on top that adds just the crunch I was looking for.
I started out with two 15 oz jars of peaches in 100% pear juice. I used Meijer brand, but you could use Dole, or any other ones that you prefer. Just dump them into a medium sauce pan, add some butter and a half cup of sugar and bring it to a boil.
This cobbler has the most basic crust. I mixed flour, brown sugar and cold butter together in my mixer until it combined into little balls of dough. Then simply smoosh them into one big ball and press them into the bottom of your Dutch oven.
Bake the dough at 350-degrees until it sets and the edges just start to brown.
Meanwhile, add cornstarch to your peach mixture to help thicken it before adding it to the Dutch oven. Mmmmm! Not going to lie. I could just eat the peach sauce and be a happy mama.
Instead of spooning it all into my face, I poured it over the pre-set crust. Then drizzle with REAL maple syrup. A little goes a long way and it is so worth it.
Then I added the oatmeal crumble to the top. It's simply butter, brown sugar, oatmeal, cinnamon, nutmeg and a little bit of salt. It smells like we are returning to the holiday season, and I love it.
Somehow I forgot to take a picture of it all baked in the Dutch oven. I was probably too excited to sample it. My bad. Serve scoops of cobbler over vanilla bean ice cream, and enjoy the magic on your tongue.
