Sweet tooth.. or teeth?

The baking bug bit me this weekend. I was impelled to make something sweet for the chilly evenings we've been experiencing. I looked in my pantry to see what to conjure up. I had canned peaches and cherry pie filling. I decided to make two perfect desserts: Peach Cobbler & Cherry Crisp.

Peach Cobbler:

1/2 cup butter (melted)

1 cup flour (all purpose ok)

1 cup sugar

3 tsp baking powder

pinch of salt

1 cup milk

1 can of peaches (or 4 cups fresh)

1 tbl fresh lemon juice

1/4 tsp cinnamon

Directions:

Pre-heat oven 375. Pour melted butter on bottom of 13 x 9 cake pan.

Mix: flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, milk, cinnamon. Pour in on top of butter. Do not mix. Heat peaches and lemon juice on stove top til the syrup is bubbling then remove. Plop peaches onto first mixture. Do not mix. Bake for 45-50 minutes.

* serve warm with a dollop of vanilla ice cream.

Cherry Crisp

1/2 cup flour (self rising or all purpose ok)

1/2 cup oats

1/3 cup butter

1 can cherry pie filling (21 oz)

3/4 tsp nutmeg

3/4 tsp cinnamon

 Directions:

 Pre-heat oven 375. Spread cherry pie filling evenly on 8" square cake pan. Mix: brown sugar, flour, oats, butter, nutmeg, & cinnamon. Pour over cherry pie filling. Bake 30-35 minutes or until golden brown.

*serve warm with a dollop of ice cream.
*serve chilled leftovers for breakfast with a dollop of plain or vanilla yogurt.

ENJOY! BON APPETIT!
