It’s almost summer and peaches will be in season! Homemade Peach Cobbler is a great way to use fresh peaches and enjoy a delicious dessert as well. There are times when I buy peaches, we eat a few and then I forget all about them. Being that I don’t like to waste food I’ll either throw them in the freezer, make Vanilla Peach Coffee Cake or this Peach Cobbler. My kids likes to eat the cobbler with cream drizzled on top while my husband likes it in milk. Either way, it’s a quick, easy and delicious dessert for you to enjoy!
