The unexpected addition of peanut butter makes this cobbler a dish reminiscent of your favorite childhood lunch. To make the mixing easier, warm the peanut butter and preserves in the microwave for 10–15 seconds.

1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, plus more for greasing the dish
3/4 cup crunchy peanut butter
3/4 cup milk
1 cup sugar
1 cup flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 can (29 ounces) sliced peaches in juice, drained
3/4 cup peach preserves
1/2 cup brown sugar

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 13-by-9-inch glass baking dish with butter.

2. Melt remaining butter in a medium bowl. Whisk in peanut butter then milk until blended.

3. In another bowl, mix the sugar, flour, baking powder and salt. Add the butter mixture and stir until blended. Pour into baking dish and spread evenly.

4. In a medium bowl, mix peaches, preserves and brown sugar. Then spoon evenly over batter. Bake 40–50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and juices are bubbly.
