Very good! I used this recipe as more of a guideline than anything else. I substituted granulated splenda for the sugar, and omitted the butter completely. Came out very, very good. The topping would have obviously been more light and flakey with butter, but I'd rather cut off the 300 calories out of the recipe. Worked very well with granulated splenda!

The peaches at the farmer's market have never been better than they are this year, and this is the perfect recipe to showcase them. My primary complaint about most peach cobbler recipes is that they have too much butter and too much sugar. I did take some liberties.<br/><br/>First, I used 1/3 C of brown sugar, left out the lemon juice, and used butter instead of margarine. I dropped the batter in smaller pieces. The cobbler turned out beautifully, and as a bonus, I can include this in my meal plan without shifting hardly anything around.<br/><br/>I would recommend this to anyone!
