Easy Spiced Fresh Peach Cobbler

Ever found an empty pan of something in your fridge? I did! I found this recipe in a book. It was rather plain so I added my own tasteful touches and served it to my family. They loved every bite and it was gone in just a few hours. If fresh peaches are out of season then use the best frozen peaches you can but cut back on the sugar.
