Origin and cultural significance:
The co-bapping in peaches is a typical American dessert that originated in the 19th century, in colonial cuisines. The name "cobbler" refers to the rustic and pavingical appearance of the biscuite trim, which resembles a rough and irregular crust. Although variants of the cobbler have existed in other cultures, the American version, including the cobbler to southern fisheries, has become emblematic. In the United States, cobbler in fisheries is particularly associated with the South, where fisheries abound and where the tradition of home-made pastry is deeply rooted.
The cobbler became popular for extending fruit during the harvest season and using the ingredients available creatively. The recipe of the cobbler to old-fried baked peaches evokes these ancestral traditions, celebrating simple ingredients and the art of home-cooked pastry.

"Advice for a Success:"
1. Use ripe peaches: Fresh and ripe peaches will give the trim a naturally sweet and tasty taste. If you use deep-frozen peaches, make sure they are drained well to avoid excess moisture.
2. Do not mix the trim too much: For the filling with biscuits, mix just enough for the ingredients to be very homogeneous. Too much work the dough can give a dense garnish instead of a light and airy trim.
3. 3. "Look at the fruit: Do not skimp on sugar, lemon juice and cinnamon in the peache garnish. These ingredients help to balance the natural acidity of peaches and create a harmonious flavor.
4. Allow to stand: Allow the cobbler to cool slightly after cooking. This allows the trim to take and facilitates the service.
5. Serve with a vanilla ice cream ball: The cobbler with peaches is preferably eaten lukewarm, accompanied by a ball of vanilla ice cream or a hazelnut of whipped cream, which enhances the richness and texture of the dessert.
