So lets start with Peach Cobbler recipe:

4 cups of peeled, sliced peaches

2 cups of sugar divided

1/2 cup of water

8 tablespoons of butter (2 sticks)

1 1/2 cups of self-rising flour (not normal flour)

1 1/2 cups milk

Ground cinnamon

Ok lets get started on cooking this bad boy.
 1. Preheat oven to 350º F

 2. Combine peaches, 1 cup of sugar, and water in a saucepan. Mix well. Bring to boil, let simmer for 10 minutes. take off heat

 3. Put butter in a 3-quart baking dish (You can use other sizes but nothing smaller than 3-quart) place in the oven.

 4. Mix remaining ingredients sugar, flour and milk. Mix milk in slowly to prevent clumping. Pour mixture over the butter. Do not mix. Spoon fruit on top, gently pour syrup on top. Sprinkle cinnamon on top. Bake for 30-45 minutes

 5. Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream

I absolutely love this recipe because it has much personality in that is sweet but not overwhelmingly and just the perfect balance of fruits, bread and sweet yummyness.
