Peach cobbler has long been a favorite dessert of Lenexa Farmers Market Manager Jenny Doty. This version comes from her great-grandmother. As a kid, Jenny enjoyed cooking, especially with family members.

One of the fun things about this recipe is that the peaches go on the top, but the cobbler surrounds the peaches and creates a sweet crisp topping. It is always delicious served warm à la mode with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Get fresh, locally grown peaches from Sunflower Orchards in Paola, Kansas. They are sold at the Bos Hill Blooms vendor booth at the Market.
