sister Sarah is visiting us for a few days in Amarillo. \u00a0She got me <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Americas-Best-Lost-Recipes-heirloom\/dp\/1933615184\" target=\"_blank\">this cookbook<\/a>, America&#8217;s Best Lost Recipes,\u00a0for my birthday. \u00a0One of the recipes that caught her eye when she looked through it was this peach puzzle. \u00a0We had no choice but to try it out when she was here.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s basically like an upside down peach cobbler, but with a few twists. \u00a0The peaches are left whole&#8230;pits and all. \u00a0The crust ends up on the bottom instead of the top. \u00a0And a sweet brown sugar sauce is cooked with the dessert in the oven. \u00a0The twisted part about the sauce is that its cooked upside down and is sucked into the upside down ramekin during cooling. \u00a0Don&#8217;t ask me exactly how that works&#8230;it&#8217;s a mystery&#8230;or a puzzle.<\/p>\n<p>While the sauce did magically end up in the ramekin, we had some trouble with the crust sticking too much to the sides. \u00a0So, grease the sides of the pie plate. \u00a0I also recommend making this when you are fairly confident it will be consumed in one sitting&#8230;but not by yourself! \u00a0Sarah and I each had a helping, then we put the left overs in the fridge. \u00a0It wasn&#8217;t nearly as good on day two. \u00a0The crust got pretty soggy from the peach juice, and wasn&#8217;t quite as tasty.<\/p>\n<p>This is a yummy dessert. \u00a0The peaches end up perfectly soft. \u00a0The crust is not too sweet, and is nice and buttery. \u00a0If you&#8217;re looking for something a bit out of the ordinary, this is a perfect dessert to use up some of those juicy summer peaches.<\/p>\n<p><a

butter<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 teaspoon vanilla<\/li>\n<li>1\/8 teaspoon salt<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Dough:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1 1\/4 cup flour<\/li>\n<li>2 tablespoons sugar<\/li>\n<li>1 tablespoon baking powder<\/li>\n<li>1\/4 teaspoon salt<\/li>\n<li>5 tablespoons butter, cut into pieces and chilled<\/li>\n<li>6 tablespoons milk<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Directions<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Preheat oven to 400\u00b0F and adjust rack to the middle position.<\/li>\n<li>Place a 6 ounce ramekin upside down in the center of a 9-inch pie plate. \u00a0Grease the side of the plate. \u00a0Arrange the peaches around the edge of the plate around the ramekin. \u00a0Set aside.<\/li>\n<li>Combine butter, brown sugar, water, vanilla and salt in a medium saucepan. \u00a0Stir over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the butter melts. \u00a0Pour the syrup over the pieces.<\/li>\n<li>For the dough, pulse flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a food processor until blended. \u00a0Add in cold butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse cornmeal.<\/li>\n<li>Transfer mixture to a bowl and add milk. \u00a0Fold the milk into the flour mixture with a rubber spatula until it comes together. \u00a0Squeeze the dough into a disk, and place on a lightly floured surface.<\/li>\n<li>Roll dough into a 9-inch circle. \u00a0Lay the dough directly over the peaches and press the dough to fit around the peaches. \u00a0Do not attach dough to the outside of the pie plate.<\/li>\n<li>Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown. \u00a0Transfer to a cooling rack and let sit for 30 minutes.<\/li>\n<li>Place a large rimmed serving platter over the top of the pie plate and quickly invert the puzzle on to the plate.<\/li>\n<li>Cut in wedges around each peach. \u00a0Serve with warm sauce from the ramekin and either vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<div id=\"wp_fb_like_button\" style=\"margin:5px 0;float:none;height:70px;\"><script
