Who has a good recipe for peach cobbler?
Love you all, ALOUETTE.

Straight from Texas :) Texas peaches are an extra special thing when the seasons work out! And southern US recipes are the best anyway! *laugh*

I was awake thinking about the young lady I lost. Now I realise I lost nothing. I gained another year. This year will be the best yet.
Shalom.
Happy 5768!

I am craving an apple kugel!
Shanah Tovah, Alouette!!
Thank you for the peach cobbler recipes!
Unfortunately by the time you posted it, it was already Rosh Hashana and I was logged off the computer. I did whip up a peach cobbler using cake mix and a can of peach pie filling.
Many years ago, some kind soul left CASES of peach pie filling at the yeshiva, “as a gift for the poor,” and my husband brought home a case. I said, why peach pie filling?” He said, “hey, it was free!” He thought it was canned peaches, not peach pie filling. He would not return the case to the yeshiva, that would have been rude.
Years have passed and I am still trying to figure out ways to use up this peach pie filling. I guess I could donate it to a homeless shelter, but there are some things even the homeless will not eat.
I have used cherry pie filling to top a cheesecake; maybe you could use the peach as a topping as well. I've never had peach pie filling, so I'm grasping at straws here!
Tomorrow I will have been a FReeper for nine years.
SWEET HONEY CHALLAH
5-6 c. unbleached flour
1/3 c. oil
1/2 c. honey
2 tsp. salt
2 pkg. rapid-rise dry yeast
1 3/4 c. hot tap water
4 eggs
Sesame seeds or poppy seeds
In mixer bowl, combine 3 c. flour, yeast, and salt. Beat 3 of the eggs with oil and honey and add to bowl. Add hot water and mix with regular beater for about 30 sec.
Attach dough hook and add remaining flour to form a smooth dough that does not stick to the sides of the bowl. Knead for about 5-10 minutes.
Remove dough from mixing bowl and place in a greased bowl (I spray the bowl with nonstick spray). Cover with saran wrap and let rise for about 1 hour. Punch down and let rise for another hour.
Punch down dough and divide into 4 pieces. Roll out each piece into a rope and coil into a round beehive shape. (You can form any shape of loaf or braid, but Rosh Hashana is customary to form a round loaf).
Place 2 loaves on a baking sheet that has been sprayed with nonstick spray and sprinkled with corn meal. Cover loaves with saran wrap sprayed with nonstick spray and let rise until double in size, about 1 hour. Brush each loaf with beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds or poppy seeds. Bake at 375 until dark brown.
Cobbler would be a great way to use it. I once had a boss who would open up a can of that in the middle of the night (insomnia, among other problems) and eat it room temperature. Might make a good ice cream topping.
May this year be the best you have ever imagined.
Well, I know this is quite belated, but l’ shana tovah to you too!
