Oh, My! Peach Cobbler

Nothing says summer like peaches and this cobbler is a tribute to this tasty fruit.

Directions
      Ingredients
           *4 peaches, sliced. (I peel the slices and prefer this, but feel free to leave them on) 
           *1/4 Cup vegan butter (I use Earth Balance Vegan Buttery Sticks) 

      1. Preheat oven to 350°. Add butter to a 9 x 9 baking dish and place in preheating oven to melt.
      2. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the following ingredients.
     Dry Ingredients
           *1 Cup + 2 Tablespoons Gluten-Free Flour (I use Bob's Red Mill)
           *1/3 Cup Coconut Sugar (I use Madhava Coconut Sugar) 
           *1/2 Teaspoon xanthan gum (I use Ener-g Xanthan Gum)
           *1 Teaspoon baking powder
           *1/4 Teaspoon baking soda
           *1/2 Teaspoon sea salt 

      3. In a small bowl, combine the following ingredients and let sit for 2 minutes.
      Ingredients
           *3 Tablespoons unsweetened applesauce
           *1/2 Teaspoon baking powder

      4. In a medium bowl, combine the following ingredients.
      Wet Ingredients
           *1/4 Cup unrefined coconut oil, melted and slightly cooled
           *1 1/2 Teaspoons vanilla extract
           *1/2 Cup unsweetened applesauce
           *3/4 Cup warm water

      5. Slowly add the two smaller bowls of wet ingredients and combine into the larger bowl of Dry Ingredients with a hand mixer on medium speed for 30 seconds or until completely combined.   
      6. Pour half of the batter into the baking dish with the butter. Arrange peaches evenly over the batter. Top with the remaining batter.   
      7. Bake for 45-55 minutes or until top is browned, peaches are bubbling and when a toothpick is inserted into the dough and comes out clean.   
      8. ENJOY!
