This. Weather. Sucks.
That’s really all I can say. It’s been pouring since Monday night and I’m starting to get cabin fever. The rain overnight was insane, it was raining so hard that it woke me up. I feel bad for all the people who are experiencing flooding again, only a week after the flooding from hurricane Irene went down.
To get my mind off this horrible weather, I did some baking. And we all know that baking makes me a very happy girl.
I pinned this recipe on Pinterest a while ago and felt that the weather is very fall-like outside, some comforting food would totally hit the spot. Since I can never follow a recipe without making changes, I’ll give you mine too.

Peach-Apple Cobbler
Filling:
3 large peaches, pitted and cut into 1/4 inch thick slices
3 large apples, peeled and cored, cut into 1/4 inch thick slices
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup quick-cooking tapioca
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon apple pie spice
Topping:
1-2/3 cup all purpose flour
3 tablespoons sugar
1-1/2 tablespoons baking powder
pinch salt
1 stick cold, unsalted butter, cut into cubes
1/2 cup heavy cream
Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter a baking dish. In a medium bowl, stir together the filling ingredients. Pour filling into the prepared dish; set aside.
For the topping, in a large bowl mix the flour, the sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Slowly add the 2/3 cup cream, mixing until the dough just comes
together.
Form the dough into 2-inch balls and flatten gently with the palm of your hand. Evenly arrange the dough rounds on top of the filling. Brush a little cream over the rounds. Bake about 1 hour or until the biscuits are golden and the filling is bubbling.
This is so good that the whole pan got eaten within one day in my house.
Now I need to tend to my laundry. I need to start packing because we are leaving for Boston tomorrow afternoon! I’m so excited.
Have a great Thursday!
