We love a lazy recipe... especially one that tastes just about as good as the original, all while requiring way less time to throw it together. This Lazy Peach Cobbler is one of our favorites. It's got all the sweet, syrupy, cinnamon-y flavors we all know and love, but rather than peeling and prepping too much, you just heat everything up a bit and then dump it right in the dish. And same goes for that buttery, crumbly crust. A little mixing here and a little sprinkle there, and bam. Your sweet treat is ready for its 30 minutes in the oven. We love to dollop a creamy scoop of vanilla ice cream on top of our Lazy Peach Cobbler... but hey, you can do whatever you want!
