Grandma's Best in the World Peach Cobbler

Submitted by Aurora

"This cobbler is a very smooth and custard-like dessert that is DELICIOUS. Grandma always made this for us because it was very easy and economical. Serve piping hot from the oven with vanilla ice cream melting over the top. This is an unbelievably delicious dessert! You can also substitute almost any other fruit for the peaches."
