Preheat the oven

• Preheat the oven to 350 °F.

Cook the peaches

• Combine the peaches, part of the sugar and the water in a saucepan and mix well.
• Bring to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes.
• Remove from the heat.

Melt the butter

• Put the butter in a 9”x13” baking pan and place in the oven to melt.

Make the batter

• Mix together the remaining sugar, flour, baking powder and salt.
• Add the milk slowly to prevent clumping.
• Pour the mixture over the melted butter. Do not stir.

Assemble the cobbler

• Spoon the fruit on top, gently pouring in the syrup.
• Sprinkle the top with ground cinnamon. The batter will rise to the top during baking.

Bake
