Easy Peach Cobbler

I am such a sucker for a good peach cobbler.  As peach season starts I am always on a hunt for a good recipe.  I have collected a few good ones, but none of them are amazing.  Well, my search is over with the find of this recipe!  

I had about 6 fresh peaches that needed to be used, so what better way than a cobbler. The peaches were ripe and juicy.  The crust was crunchy and sweet and then topped with vanilla ice cream, the dessert was out of this world!

In the bowl of your stand up mixer fitted with the paddle attachment combine the butter and 1 cup sugar together for 2 minutes on medium speed.Turn mixer to low and add in flour and oats, mixing until it’s coarse crumb. Add in the milk and mix until combined.Drop the mixture by the spoonful onto the peaches.Sprinkle with the remaining 3 tablespoons granulated sugar.Bake for 30 minutes until golden and bubbly.

Notes:

You can absolutely use fresh peaches for this recipe. Use same amount of peeled and sliced fresh peaches in place of the frozen peaches! You can also use canned peaches in water, not syrup. But drain the canned peaches.
