I look forward to pictures of the cobbler!

Peach Cobbler.......Good choice Brad.
Look forward to hearing more about this years cast party.

~Ann

Teresa, I'll post pictures if I remember lol.

Ann, I'm glad to hear it was a good choice. Instead of white cake mix, mom said I can use a box of French Vanilla cake mix instead and I also bought churn style vanilla ice cream and Cool Whip to serve with it.

Something tells me I'm spoiling my friends at the theatre lol.

Yum, I love peach cobbler, although Grandma always made ours with a biscuit kind of topping and so that's how I make mine.

We can't argue with our Grandmas, now can we? (grin)

I think you're getting really popular at those cast parties.

Annie

Annie, lol I think I'm getting popular with my theatre group period. No, we really can't argue with our grandmas lol.

Cobber is all baked and ready for tomorrow! I also made some iced green tea from teabags lol (Orange, Passion Fruit and Jasmine flavor).

Cobbler baking in the oven

Cooling (just taken out of the oven a few moments before)

One question: Could I reheat this in the oven before it's time to serve it? If so, what degrees and for how long?

Brad AKA Moonwolf

Wow Brad - that looks great and would go really well with my coffee this morning!

Alexa

Thank you, everyone!

Off to the theatre here very shortly! I'll let you all know how much the cobbler was liked and how the play went!

Brad AKA Moonwolf

The party and the cobbler were HUGE hits! There's only a couple pieces of cobbler left :-).

Brad AKA Moonwolf

Brad, after seeing your cobbler I'm not surprised that it was a big hit. Nice that you have enough leftover for you and your mom.

Ann

Ann, well, I don't know about me, but dad's more than welcome to a piece too, lol. Actually, he doesn't care much for cobblers, so I may end up eating one of the final pieces lol.

Brad AKA Moonwolf

Brad, I'm glad it went well, the cobbler looks delicious. So, did your Dad get some, or did you?

Annie

Dad got the last of it, at least I think so, I remember him eating a piece, but I wasn't sure if it was the last of it or not LOL.

To think, all this cobbler takes is a box of white cake mix (for this cobbler, I used French Vanilla cake mix), 2 cans of any fruit pie filling, a stick of butter and an egg.

Brad AKA Moonwolf

Brad, your cobbler looks really good!

One tip I learned from my mom that you can use to kick it up a notch: sprinkle a little sugar on top of the dough before you bake it.... I never measured, but I'd say just a tablespoon or two of plain white sugar. It makes cobblers look prettier by giving it a nice sparkle/shine, and also gives it just a little *crunch* when you bite into the sugary parts of the dough. :)

The beauty, well, one of the beauties of a cobbler is you can use different fruits or combine them too. Mix them together, or do a half and half or sort of swirl it in.

I'm not a fan of peaches and I'm not sure why. But an apple filling with a spice cake topping and sprinkle it with cinnamon sugar has me interested. Or any kind of berry and maybe a banana cake mix with a vanilla sugar sprinkle. Just a couple of the myriad of possibilities. It's another comfort food.

And if you happen to have access to fresh fruit, you can always adapt it to the recipe easily too.

Keep on cookin' Wolfie! Your friends and family will love it. And I know you'll have a great time doing it. :)

Cynic, I agree, fresh fruit would take it up another notch.

Fresh peaches, though, I could get right into that. Or apricots. Or cherries and chocolate, like Black Forest.

I'm glad your Dad got to try some, Brad, I'll bet he brags about how his son can cook.
