Bonjour, mes amies! Je técris de Paris… Welcome to this month’s scrumptious Pinterest Challenge where we are making our favorite peach recipes for you!
How do we say “peach” in French?
Les pêches…
If you are just coming over from Lynne at My Family Time for the first time, welcome! Lynne’s recipe looks totally delicious, doesn’t it?!! These challenges are so much fun and we have a great line up of goodies for your gastronomic pleasure.
The summer dessert I’ve chosen to make is super easy, takes just a few ingredients, and my version is mostly sugar free ~ perfect for anyone watching their sugars. It is a Peach Cobbler, similar to Lynne’s, but of course, mine is made in the microwave. Every recipe, even if similar, is always a different treat!
Cindy from County Road 407 has found the perfect photo for us to use as our inspiration. It comes from Organic Facts.net where Author Meenakshi Nagdeve in her article Health Benefits and Nutrition of Peach touts a ton of facts about why peaches are so good for us.
I won’t bore you with all those facts but a couple of important ones are that peaches provide us with anti-oxidants and beta-carotene for good eye health. As soon as I saw our inspiration photo, I knew right away that I would make this super easy Peach Cobbler Recipe using my now-vintage Tupperware Stack Cooker.
It is a simple summertime favorite ~ Peach Cobbler baked in the microwave! What could be easier AND not heat up the house?
As I begin writing this post, it was 107 degrees outside yesterday (7/18/22 and it is supposed to 100 F today (7/19/22). Way too hot to be turning on an oven indoors!
***North Texas has been up over 100 degrees since mid-June. Even here in Paris, France (where I currently am), this past week they had sweltering days of 106 F/41.1 C degrees on the day I was flying out from DFW. Europe is experiencing some of the worst heat they have ever had, and in countries where only a very few homes have air conditioning, but I digress… 😉
Here are the ingredients (my notes)
3 peaches cut up, the hard inside pith area cut off, and then cut into chunks
Substitute Monks Fruit sugar for the brown sugar; it is non-glycemic.
Add the rest like it says.
I added a little more oats and it helped absorb some of the water from the cooked peaches.
And here is the recipe
- Super easy to just cut up the peaches (I left my skins on as they were soft)
- toss on the honey and water mixture, blend to coat.
- dot with small pats of butter
- cook 5 – 7 min. on High in microwave. I cooked mine for only 5 minutes and it was perfect (using two soft and one hard peach).
- In a separate bowl, add oats, Monks Fruit sugar substitute (1:1 ratio), and All-spice
- Soften remaining butter in microwave (if hard like mine was from frig.; can’t leave on counter in summer… ants!) and add to dry ingredients. Smoosh in with the back of a fork (yep, smoosh! It’s a Southern thing. ;))
- Stir in chopped nuts (pecans!!!)
- Spoon over 2/3 of the oat mixture on top of the peaches
Dish the peach mixture into pretty serving bowls and top with the rest of the oat and nut crumble ~ dig in!!!
I totally wish I had grabbed more peaches as I took the leftovers to our Rebekah’s meeting later that evening after I made the cobbler. There was really only enough for everyone to just have a taste ~ 1/4 to 1/2 cup each. This included a friend who is in his 70’s with Type 1 diabetes.
Well, friends, that’s it! I hope you will pin my photos and/or this Pinterest pin to your boards, thank you!! And thank you to Cindy, as always, for hosting!!
Next up is Laura from Everyday Edits whose recipe I am sure is going to add to your subliminal desire to just run right out to the store for these delicious fruits!
Enjoy visiting everyone on this month’s peach recipe tour!!
Bon appétit,
Barb 🙂
Barb, I just selected a peach recipe to add the party, and I got to the bottom of the post and it says “This link party has ended.” It just started! Oh well, here is my link. https://www.delightfulrepast.com/2016/07/fresh-peach-ice-cream-fresh-blueberry.html Something to cool you off, whether you’re in Texas or in France! I can’t believe the temperatures they’ve been experiencing in Europe!
Hello Jean, this Pinterest Challenge goes through Cindy from County Road 407. I’ll update my post when we get back to our AirBnB. Thank you! 💕
You can’t beat a tasty peach cobbler, Barb! I bet it will be as good as anything you enjoy in France!
A microwavable dessert in this obnoxious heat is my kinda recipe! I love it! Looks like y’all are having a fantastic time. I’m so jealous! And I cracked up with your comment on the good wood flooring. LOL. Enjoy and thanks for joining us.
I love vintage recipes, especially when made with vintage cooking equipment. Look delish. I’ve pinned it for later!
Thank you, Niky! I appreciate it. 📌
Well, you gave us another simple and yummy dessert, Barbara! I hope you are enjoying your trip! Hope the weather breaks soon! We are having unusually cooler weather this week… mid to high 70s. Crazy!
Lucky! Texas is still running over 100. Wish I could just stay here in Paris. It was in the 60’s last night and perfect for sleeping. Enjoy your good weather! ⚜️
I just love old recipe books, and this recipe is a winner! Have a delightful time on your trip Barb!
Thank you, Michelle! Just got home late yesterday afternoon. Busy up early (late morning in France) doing laundry— while it is cool. Hated to leave Paris… It was 58 deg. Fahrenheit yesterday morning, actually chilly. But my daughter and I weren’t complaining after the 102+ everyday heat for over 40 days now in Texas! Glad you liked the recipe!! ⚜️
Barb, first, I hope you and your daughter are having a wonderful time in Paris. I’m not familiar with the Tupperware baker, but the dish sounds yummy. Love the simplicity of it.
Thank you, Carol. It’s an older 1990’s piece, and this Tupperware set is made specifically for the microwave, which I use a lot. They have newer versions now but I have used this for 35 years. Glad you like the recipe! Oh, we just got home yesterday. Missing Paris and it’s cool (58 deg. yesterday morning at sunrise) weather! ⚜️
Barbara this looks like the perfect recipe for both breakfast and dessert!
Barbara, I hope you and your daughter are enjoying Paris! What a fabulous trip it must be! This cobbler looks so simple and delicious. I can’t wait to try it. Pinned!
I hope you and your daughter are having the time of your life in Paris Barbara. This peach cobbler looks amazing and I can’t wait try this for my husband.
