Since my neighbor brought us over so many peaches today, I figured I needed to make a dessert with them! Tasty cobbler southern style. Crispy butter-fried dough puffs up and bakes all around the juicy-sweet peach slices. Again, the hint of cinnamon (barely a whiff) really brings out the depth of that golden peach flavor. THIS Mama isn’t kidding when she says “fresh” peach cobbler!
