Perfect Individual Peach Cobblers

"This yummy peach cobbler was developed by my mom and me one night after dinner. It hits the spot if you are having a sweet craving, but it isn't super high in calories. This recipe will work in a 9x11-inch glass baking dish as well. Add a bit of ice cream if desired and enjoy!"
