Basil Peach Cobbler


First Sunday of NFL Football yesterday and I went a little cray in the kitchen. Made sweet chili lime chicken wings, heirloom tomato salad drizzled with homemade bleu cheese dressing, baked mustard fries, and basil peach cobbler!
 I had received a bag of fresh picked peaches and they were totally ripe. I needed to use them before they went bad. So I decided fresh peaches, fresh basil, a little sugar and spice, done!

Here's the recipe:

Filling
3 pounds peaches
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup chopped basil
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
2 Tbls Flour
zest of an orange

Topping
1 cup flour
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1 stick unsalted butter cold cut into cubes

For the filling mix the ingredients with the sliced peaches and place in a baking dish.

For the filling add all the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl and mix together. With the mixer on add in your cubes of cold butter. Continue mixing until the ingredients starts to hold together and feels moist. Crumble your topping over the peach filling.
Bake at 350 for 45 minutes

**You can make this dessert ahead of time and keep in the refrigerator before baking. Bake while you are eating dinner and it will fill your house with an amazing aroma. It will be warm and bubbly just in time!
