This Georgia Peach Cobbler is a classic baking recipe, hands down. Several major nutrients, including vitamins A (beta-carotene), C and potassium are packed into each Georgia peach. Add with a scoop of your favorite vanilla ice cream and you will have a dish to remember!

8 cups sliced Georgia peaches

2 cups sugar

3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

1 teaspoon vanilla flavoring

1/3 cup butter or margarine

pastry for double-crust pie

vanilla ice cream

1. Combine peaches, sugar, flour and nutmeg in a Dutch oven; set aside to allow syrup to form (approx. 15 minutes).

2. Bring peach mixture to a boil: reduce heat to low, and simmer 10 minutes or until peaches are tender.

3. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and margarine.

4. Roll half of pastry to 1/8” thickness: cut into a circle to fit a two-quart baking dish.

5. Spoon half of mixture into lightly buttered baking dish; top with pastry.

6. Bake at 475*F for 12 minutes or until lightly browned. Spoon remaining peach mixture over baked pastry.

7. Roll remaining pastry to 1/8” thickness and cut into 1” strips; arrange in lattice design over peaches. Bake an additional 15-20 minutes until browned.

Allow to cool slightly before serving.

Serve with vanilla ice cream.

Makes 8 servings.
