Peach cobbler

  • Our summer CSA brought us loads of peaches.  While I love a nice bowl of peaches, I needed to find another way to eat them.  My friend was coming over for dinner.  She is a bit of a healthy eating nut, so I thought how much healthier can you get than fresh fruit. 
  • This cobbler is really only meant for two people, but it can fill up 6 if you top it with ice cream.  The little bit of orange zest gives it a great twist.  Yum.
