Ingredients

  • Cobbler
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 5 nectarines
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • Topping
  • 5 tablespoons butter (cold)
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup AP flour
  • 1 pinch salt

Method

  • First, preheat your oven to 375.
  • Peel and slice your peaches so they're about an inch thick, then heat up a grill or grill pan to medium high.
  • Heat up the vegetable oil until it starts to shimmer, then throw the peaches on just until you see those glorious grill marks; about 3-4 minutes per side. Grill them longer if you don't see the marks; if you don't have the marks you're just making regular old peach cobbler, and that's boring as hell unless you're a woman named Mabel who makes 8 pitchers of sweet tea an hour and has antiquated views on race relations.
  • Put the peaches in a bowl and let them cool for five minutes, then toss with the sugar, cinnamon, and cornstarch.
  • Make the topping by mixing the dry ingredients together, then mixing the butter in with a pastry cutter until you have pebble-sized chunks. Or just remember what you did last week when I said to do pretty much the exact same thing.
  • Put the peaches in your preferred pie-baking apparatus, then sprinkle the crumble on top.

  • Let it cool, put it in a bowl with some ice cream and a little balsamic vinegar (trust me on this one), and eat.
