Peach Cobbler with Oat Scones Topping

We have Peach Cobbler as dessert in the South Arm Cooking Club for seniors.  Cobbler toppings take on many forms.  Some resemble sugar cookie dough while some are like pie crusts.  This topping is a tender oatmeal scone, which bakes up crisp, nubbly, and slightly sweet.

A scoop of vanilla ice-cream will make this dessert perfect.

This recipe is adapted from America’s Test Kitchen and Cooking Light and it serves 6.

Ingredients

2 pounds peaches
2 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/3 cup brown sugar
