Healthy Cobbler - Honey Ginger Peach
"Healthy" as a relative term. My mother and grandmother have made this version of a cobbler my whole life. I have kept the flavor of the original and revamped it with more healthful ingredients, but the basic flavor and texture are the same. Other fruits may be substituted, but peach has always been my favorite. Baking this in cast iron is a beautiful presentation as the golden brown batter swells around the sweet summer fruit.
