The Perfect September Peach Delight!

Alright, I know I said the next recipe I'd post would involve something along the lines of what most of you said you love on an all-time basis..and its still looking like its chocolate. But I had a huge peach in the fridge that just had to be used up somehow. It was quite ripe, and I didn't feel like eating it as is. I also just made a huge batch of yogurt that I wanted to use up. So I created a recipe involving both peach and yogurt. Was it EVER delish! Hubby loved it too! Between the both of us, we finished more than half of it that night. We would have finished it off then, but we wanted to go to bed with some dignity left, so we kept the rest for the next day.

Ingredients

1 large fresh peach, or two smaller ones, sliced ½ inch thick.
1 & ½ cups all-purpose flour

¾ cup white sugar
½ teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 egg
1/3 cup yogurt
3 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ cup brown sugar

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 C).
  • Combine 1 ½ cups flour, ¾ cup sugar, salt and baking powder. Add oil, egg and yogurt. Mix this with flour mixture.
  • Meanwhile, melt the 3 tablespoons of butter and brown sugar together under low-med heat until it is bubbly, sprinkle in the cinnamon. Once it is bubbly and fragrant, pour it in a 9-inch round baking pan, and spread in pan to cover. Place peach slices over it, to cover pan. Pour batter on top of that.
  • Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until done. Cool for about 10 minutes, and then turn over on to dish.

    This dessert is perfect after a heavy dinner, or with breakfast. It is light, fruity, and tastes fantastic with coffee or tea.
