Just getting around to posting this pie I made for Thanksgiving. I also made one for work yesterday for a birthday.

Easy Peach Cobbler

Easy Peach Cobbler by Gulf Coast Gram

A few weeks ago I made this for a birthday at work. It is an easy version of peach cobbler that even Paula Deen serves in her restaurant. It's much better when you can have some fresh peaches but canned will do okay in a pinch.EASY PEACH COBBLERPreheat oven to 350 degrees.Put 1 stick of butter in a 9 x 13 pan in the oven to melt.In…
