The following is a Guest Post by Katie from Frugal Femina
A church near Atlanta asked my husband to be a guest preacher one winter. I was enormously pregnant at the time, but I made the journey, and we had a wonderful service. The congregation was small but very enthusiastic, and we felt right at home. We grilled out after the service and sat outside enjoying the fellowship.
And then I spotted the dessert.
It was this yummy-looking peach cobber thing. And when I bit into those creamy, warm peaches, it did not disappoint. It was so good, I didn’t even want vanilla ice cream on top.
I found out a woman named Deana had made it, so I asked for the recipe. I was very persistent, because I had to have that recipe. When I got it, I was so surprised at how simple it is. And fast! In fact, you probably have all the ingredients right now and can whip it up in just a few minutes. So grab an apron, and let’s dish up some yummy goodness!
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
Melt 1 stick of butter in a square baking dish. (Mmmmm, we’re already off to a good start, aren’t we? Just channel your inner Paula Deen, y’all.)
In a bowl, mix:
- 1 cup of sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1 cup of flour
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder
- 2/3 cup of milk
Pour the mixture on top of the butter. Do not stir. (If you’re like me, you will want to stir because it seems unnatural, but just try to resist, mmmkkk?)
Add 2 1/2 cups of fruit (with any juice) on top. Do not stir. (I’m going to be persnickety about that point.)
Bake for about 30-40 minutes, and dig in!
Now the original recipe called for peaches, but today I used peaches and strawberries. Doesn’t it look pretty in my red Fiesta? 
I have also used blackberries. You can easily double this and even reduce the sugar and butter a little bit for a little healthier version. It will form its own crust.
Hope you enjoy this little reminder of summer!

How fun to see this recipe! I used to make this back in my (long-ago) days cooking at a Christian camp. We called it “dump” peach cobbler because you just dump all the ingredients together. It really is easy, and SOOOO good! And you have beautiful pictures and great step-by-step instructions.
