The Best Peach Cobbler

Peaches are in season which means that the hubs is eating them like candy.
My favorite way to eat peaches would be in cobbler.
I have made several different cobblers before, and some peach desserts I made recently would be the Peach Cobbler Cake and the Peachy Cream Bars which were both mighty tasty. But, they were missing something.
They weren't like I wanted it to be. Although, I don't really know what I wanted it to be.
Then, alas.

I came across a peach cobbler recipe over at thefoodhussy.com and I had a feeling that *this* would be the peach cobbler recipe of my dreams. 

The way the boiling water creates a sugar crust on top is absolutely wonderful. 

I use fresh peaches, because they are in season and super cheap...and nothing beats a fresh peach.

If you haven't made anything with fresh ones before, be sure to check out my post on how to peel a peach easily. It saves you so much hassle!

And, I cannot lie. I was eating it with a spoon while it was cooling after coming out of the oven.

Yeah.

It was delicious.

The hubs even agreed.

We ended up eating half of the cobbler with a spoon. 

From the baking dish.

Before it cooled.

Yum.
