Well, I've been a little bit lazy lately. And since I sought a homemade, warm, and sweet something that didn't involve too much effort or finance--and that juxtaposed well with the 3/4-eaten, gallon (yes, gallon) bucket of vanilla ice cream icing over in my freezer--I fell back on this old and uncomplicated classic. Peaches*, apples, pears, or whatever fruit you have that doesn't have too many flies coming from it, this is guaranteed to please.
*Soft fruits like peaches don't need to be cooked on the stove before adding with cobbler batter.
Preheat oven to 350. Peel and slice into wedges 8 small or 6 large apples of your choice (or convenience). Heat at medium a medium-sized but heavy saucepan with a half stick of butter and the peeled/wedged apples and 1 cup chopped walnuts. Sprinkle with cinnamon and almost a cup sugar. Cook until slightly softened--ten minutes probably.
In a separate mixing bowl, stir the following ingredients until smooth:
1 cup sugar
1 cup flour
1 cup milk
1 tsp. baking powder
Rub butter along sides and bottom of a large glass dish and dump in the slightly cooked apples (or fresh peaches). Pour batter over all the apples and shake a little more cinnamon and sugar on top of it. Bake in oven for about 35 minutes or until top is turning golden brown. Serve with ice cream.
