1/2 to 3/4 cup sugar, depending on peaches

Juice of half a lemon

1/2 tsp lemon zest

Sprinkle of Nutmeg (1/8 tsp)

1/2 tsp Cinnamon

For the Cobbler Topping

3 tsp baking powder

1 tsp salt

3 eggs, beaten slightly

12 TBS butter, melted

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Combine fruit, lemon juice, sugar and spices. Let sit while preparing cobbler topping to let fruit macerate.
