Peach Pie with homemade Cinnamon Ice Cream
Blackberry and Peach Cobbler
This is from a while ago - late August - when I was spending the day with my family. We stopped by a farmers' market and picked up this bag of peaches and they were just glorious. So later that night my mother and I were home together and she decided we should bake with them. We spent the evening cooking.
She made the ice cream almost independently of me, just having me put the ice cream maker together. For the pie she made the crust, because she is a goddess when it comes to making pie crusts, and I chopped the peaches. After we had finished the pie, there were still peaches. While I was perusing a cook book, I stumbled over a cobbler recipe. Why not make a cobbler? So we sliced the remaining peaches and when we didn't have peaches for the recipe, we found blackberries and threw them in. For the recipe, you take the berry mixture and put it in the pan, then sprinkle this combination of sugar and flour on top of those, and finally top it all a crust. Then you pop it into the oven until it's all bubbly and the crust is that lovely golden color.
This was all amazing. For one, even though I normally cook alone, I really liked cooking with my mom. It was . . . nice. The ice cream was very good. I didn't expect to like it so much, mostly because I'm not crazy about cinnamon. I definitely preferred the cobbler to the pie. There was some spicing in the pie that I was just not crazy about. It was still good, but not my favorite. I liked the combination of berries and peach in the cobbler, as well as how sweet it was. Both of them were especially good when eaten with a little bit of the ice cream on top.
