This recipe is special to me because it was the first recipe that I learned with my grandmother. I would always help her cook Sunday dinners growing up, but it wasn’t until I was about ten years old when she made peach cobbler with me. Over the years we continued to make this dish together- just like when I was a kid. The only difference now is that she requests I make the peach cobbler for her. So each year during the holidays I make a peach cobbler for my grandmother.
I hope you enjoy this recipe and share it with someone you love.
