Old Fashioned Peach Cobbler

Preheat oven to 400ºF. Butter a 2-quart baking dish and set aside.

For the filling, stir together sliced peaches, sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, and pure almond extract in baking dish; bake for 20 minutes while you prepare the cobbler.

For the cobbler, in a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Use a pastry blender to cut in the butter until the butter pieces are the size of peas. Use a fork to mix in the beaten egg and heavy cream until all the dry ingredients form a shaggy mass with no dry clumps of flour visible.

When peaches have baked for 20 minutes, remove from oven and spread shaggy flour mixture all over.
For the sugar topping, combine sugar with ground cinnamon and sprinkle all over the cobbler topping. Return to oven and bake for 15–20 minutes more, or until the topping is golden brown.

Serve with ice cream or whipped cream.
