Eons ago, an old boyfriend of my sister Nancy was craving peach cobbler the way his mother had made it. Many attempts and long searches turned up a recipe with a poured crust. The boyfriend is long gone, but the recipe prevails. I added wheat germ back when it was considered ultra-hip and healthy, but I've kept it in because I still like the nutty taste it imparts to one of my all-time favorite summer desserts. Although you can substitute frozen or canned peaches in winter, there’s really no substitute for fresh peaches! —ChefJune
This was the perfect dessert to end a great Eastern Carolina Summer weekend. We used locally grown peaches and local honey from The New Bern Farmers Market to make this quick and easy recipe. At first I thought I did not have enough batter to top the cobbler, but it turned out that I had the perfect amount to create a crispy pillow to top the bubbly deliciousness of peaches and honey. I did not use mace, but put in a little extra fresh grated nutmeg and cinnamon. I meant to use the wheat germ, but realized after that I forgot to (no one seemed to notice). I don't know if it's "the world's best" but the whole family loved it (with vanilla ice cream, of course). —Devcrooks
