Sheila’s Peach Cobbler with Pecans

Ingredients

• 3 cups sliced fresh peaches
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice
• 1 1/2 cups white sugar
• 1 cup chopped pecans (optional)
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 1/2 cups self-rising flour, or as needed
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 cup butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces
• 1 tablespoon raw sugar, or as desired

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Stir peaches with lemon juice in a bowl to prevent fruit from browning. Transfer to a cast iron skillet and stir in 1 1/2 cup white sugar, pecans, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Bring to a soft boil, stirring often.

Whisk self-rising flour, 1/2 cup white sugar, brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon in a bowl. Stir melted butter into the mixture (batter should resemble cooked oatmeal). Spoon batter over hot peach filling in the skillet; dot topping with 2 tablespoons of butter pieces and sprinkle with raw sugar.

Bake cobbler in the preheated oven until topping is golden brown, about 30 minutes.
