Kelly’s Peach Cobbler
“So good! I love the caramel edges. Was not soggy. I did add a splash of vanilla to peaches and a bit of cinnamon and nutmeg to batter but I’m sure that’s not necessary. No ice cream needed- it’s that good.” —Marshall Alum
Scandinavian-Style Rice Porridge

“Very tasty! Simple to make. Will definitely make it again. Try it warm with vanilla ice cream!” —Pam Kinney Coward
Grandma’s Iron Skillet Apple Pie
“Very good, family loved it! It’s a great pie to eat warm as the brown sugar makes it a bit like a caramelly apple pie. I did add 2 T of flour tossed into all of my apples due to the amount of sugar and butter in the recipe I wanted it to be a bit of a thicker sauce and I also added nutmeg and allspice with the cinnamon just because I like those in my apple pies.” —spirit1k

DOTDASH MEREDITH FOOD STUDIOS

Baked Pears
“Great dessert, I love it, easy to follow directions a keeper, didn’t change anything but kept it in the oven for a longer time because pears were not ripe.” —RosyDill5003
