Peach Cobbler

Aside from ice cream, desserts weren't very common in my house growing up.  But in the summer my mother would often make us cobbler.  Even though we often went out in our area to pick wild blackberries and raspberries, the cobbler was always peach.

My mom's cobbler crust was slightly sweet, lightly crunchy on the top, and perfectly gooey inside near the fruit.  We all thought it was a special night when she pulled that beautiful cobbler out of the oven, and if we were especially lucky, she'd top it with a small scoop of ice cream too.

This recipe is very similar to my mother's, but so I could enjoy it too, it's made with a rice flour blend and completely gluten free.  While fresh peaches are best, you could also use well drained canned peaches.
