1-2-3 Peach Cobbler
This straightforward cobbler features a sweet, spiced peach filling thickened with cornstarch and peach nectar. A simple batter made from pancake mix, flour and sugar is spooned over the hot fruit before baking. The dessert is finished with a nutmeg and brown sugar sprinkle, then cooled and cut into portions. It yields 8 squares and is ready in about 25 minutes.
