OLD-FASHIONED PEACH COBBLER

FOR THE PEACH MIXTURE:
1/2 cup light-brown sugar, packed
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp grated lemon rind
1 tbsp lemon juice
4 cups sliced peeled peaches
FOR THE BATTER:
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 tbsp baking powder
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, softened
1/2 cup white granulated sugar
2 egg whites, beaten
1/2 cup milk
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly grease an 8x8x2-inch baking dish.

Combine brown sugar, cinnamon, lemon rind and juice in a large bowl. Add peaches; toss to mix. Transfer to prepared baking dish; set aside.

Combine flours and baking powder on a piece of waxed paper; set aside.

Beat together butter and white sugar in a medium-sized bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in egg whites.

Add dry ingredients alternately with milk and vanilla, stirring just to combine. Drop batter by spoonfuls over peach mixture; spread gently.

Bake in preheated 375 degree F oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until peaches are tender and crust is golden brown. Serve warm.
