   • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Prepare Peach Filling:

   • Start by peeling and slicing the ripe peaches. In a large saucepan, combine the sliced peaches with 5 1/3 tablespoons of sugar (reserve the remaining sugar for the topping), cornstarch, fresh lemon juice, and ground cinnamon. Toss the ingredients together until the peaches are evenly coated.

3. Cook Peach Filling:

   • Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the peach mixture to a gentle boil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens, which should take about 1 minute. Once thickened, remove the saucepan from the heat.

4. Transfer to Baking Pan:

   • Transfer the thickened peach mixture into an 8-inch square baking pan, spreading it out evenly.

5. Prepare Topping:

   • In a separate large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, the remaining tablespoon of sugar, baking powder, and table salt. Use a fork to work in the reduced-calorie margarine until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

6. Add Milk:

   • Pour in the nonfat milk and stir until the flour mixture is evenly moistened, creating a dough-like consistency.

7. Assemble and Bake:

   • Drop spoonfuls of the topping mixture evenly over the peach filling in the baking pan. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.

8. Serve:

   • Once baked, remove the peach cobbler from the oven and allow it to cool slightly. Cut it into 8 pieces and serve warm. Enjoy the delightful combination of tender peaches and golden topping!
