Being a Southern girl, I have had all types of fruit cobbler. It was my Gram's go to dessert. Anyway, I was at Costco and was missing home, so I bought peaches, then decided to go a step further and buy a ton of bing cherries. (My son and I can eat cherries like The Witches of Eastwick. Sorry for the vague pop culture reference.) I noticed the peaches and cherries weren't being eaten as quickly as normal. (The son was away from home) This inspired me to find a creative way to get rid of some! Hope you enjoy!

How To Make fresh peach & cherry cobbler

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350.

Step 2

Combine the Peaches, Cherries, Brown sugar, and water in a saucepan and mix well.
Step 3

Bring to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from the heat. Reserve a half cup of liquid.
Step 4

Put the butter in a 9x13 baking dish and place in oven to melt.
Step 5

In a bowl sift sugar, flour, baking soda, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
Step 6

Slowly whisk in milk & half cup of the reserved peach/cherry liquid to dry ingredients.
Step 7

Pour mixture over melted butter in your baking dish. Do not stir.
Step 8

With a slotted spoon, put fruit on top evenly then gently pour the remaining liquid over the top of the fruit.
Step 9

Sprinkle the top of the fruit with cinnamon if using.
Step 10

Bake for 30 to 45 minutes or until crust has risen to the top and is golden. *Tip* Place a pan under your dish just in case any juices want to escape!
Step 11

Optionally you can sprinkle sugar over the top of the crust. (My Gram always use to)
Step 12

Enjoy warm with a nice scoop of ice cream, or let it cool down in the fridge. =)
