Peach Cobbler

Every Wednesday we have girls day with a couple of great friends. I'm not sure if it is the cool mornings or the fact that my little backyard tree has a branch of gold and crimson leaves but I have already turned the corner in my mind. Autumn is my favorite season. While I know most Calgarians would shoot me for saying this, I long for it to come every August. This past Wednesday was a cool one. The skies dark threatening rain most of the day. I decided it was time for the first batch of peach cobbler of the year! Alice was my handy assistant, more than willing to lend a hand. Or reach for the bowl to help stir :) {side note: I think I am going to make Alice a little apron out of a white linen napkin... stay tuned for my attempts!}

Back to the cobbler... (sorry I do not use an exact recipe for this one)
I started with four peaches, sliced them fairly thin

at the bottom of the dish I sprinkled nutmeg and cinnamon then layered the peaches and added a few cubes of butter and more spice

{Intermission} I let Alice "try" a banana, I think she was more interested in the texture :)

She didn't like it...

{We're Back} Next you melt about 3/4 of a cup of butter and add enough brown sugar that it can all melt and look like this:

Then I add oats into the mixture (just enough to be covered in the sugar mixture) and more nutmeg and cinnamon

Then top the peaches with your oat mixture and bake at 350 for 30 minutes

I promise you will not be able to stand the smell as it bakes it is amazing!!!
Enjoy!
