8 or 10 large ripe peaches, or more, depending on the size of cobbler you wish to make. Peel and slice thickly. In a paper sack shake together about a cup of sugar and 1/3 cup flour. Of course, increase these amounts according if you are preparing a larger cobbler.

In mixing bowl gently mix prepared peaches, 1 teaspoon vanilla and the flour/sugar. Place this filling into a deep see-through baking dish, dot with butter and top with a rather thick pie crust. Bake in a medium oven until the juice in the dish looks clear, or about 45-55 minutes.

Note: Be sure your dish is a good deal larger than the cobbler, if not, it will run over. I like a bowl shape better than a flat dish, with a flat one there is too much crust in proportion to the filling. There is a lot of flexibility in using this recipe. Other fruits such as blackberries, cherries or apples may also be used.
