Classic Peach Almond Cobbler

Warm peach cobbler with vanilla ice cream is what my childhood summer's were made of. We would get the best peaches and my grandma knew just what to do! Here I take her classic recipe and add a few variations. Plus, since it's the beginning of peach season and I can only get cling on pits, I show you how to use them to make a tasty whip cream!
