Peach Apple Cobbler

The neighbors are remodeling. Right on the other side of my wall. Using jackhammers. After listening to the noise all day, I decided I needed a treat. "Mmm, peach crisp would be good. Wait, I have apples, too!" It's also been cooler the last couple days, so turning on the oven didn't sound so terrible. So google and I set to work to find the perfect recipe, one that doesn't have too many ingredients, or use too much sugar.

I just wanted peaches and apples and something yummy on top. Of course, that is impossible to find. Everything called for copious amounts of butter (I only have 1/4 cup left, oops) or cups and cups of sugar (Tim objects to this). Nothing was right.

How hard could it be, anyway? Apparently not very.

I started slicing and sprinkling and it came out absolutely delicious. Grease the pan you want to use and slice peaches. How many you use depends on how big the pan is. Cover the bottom of the pan with peaches, sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar. Then slice apples thinly and cover the peaches. Sprinkle with maybe a tablespoon of brown sugar. Repeat with peaches. Repeat with apples. Repeat until your pan is almost full.

For the topping, I used bisquick. Yeah, yeah, I'm lazy like that. You could make real biscuit dough if you'd like. I added a couple good shakes of cinnamon to the biscuit dough and then spread it on top of the last layer of apples.

Because I was using my tiny Italian oven for dinner, my cobbler had to wait its turn to be baked, but I think it just made it juicier and let the sugars (what little there was) soak into the fruit more. Once it finally went in the oven, it took about 30 minutes at 350.

Warm with ice cream on top, it was just what I needed. I needed seconds, too.

Good thing there's leftovers, they're jackhammering again.

Stay tuned for the great Eastern European Adventure, commencing Friday. I see schnitzel and goulash in the near future and my mouth is already watering in preparation for it.
