Peach Cobbler is a traditional Grandma recipe. It has been around as long as anyone can remember and for good reason, it is the best. A huge bowl of cobbler topped with homemade banana ice cream melting down the sides of the warm dessert. A flaky crust that is bursting at the seams with peach juice and cinnamon flavors. Now, what could be better than that?
Ingredients for the Peach Cobbler
- 4 pounds of peaches, peeled and sliced
- 3.5 cups of sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg
- Juice of one lemon
- 1/2 teaspoon of almond extract
How to Make the Cobbler
- Peel the peaches, by placing them in boiling water with a slit in the skin for just a few minutes, till the skins peel back slightly.
- Remove from the boiling water and place in a cold water bath. Quickly remove the skins and slice the peaces.
- Place the peaches in a large bowl with the remaining ingredients and mix well.
- Place the peach mixture in a buttered 13 x 9 inch baking dish. Place four pats of butter on top of the peaches.
- Cover with the pie dough and seal all the edges. Fold the dough over the edge of the baking pan and turn under the edges.
- With a fork or small paring knife, make some incissions in the dough for air.
- Brush the top of the pie crust with some melted butter and sprinkle with some cinnamon and sugar.
- Bake in a preheated 375 degree oven for 45-60 minutes.
- Let the cobbler set for 20 minutes, before cutting and serve warm with some homemade ice cream. See the recipe below.
Perfect Pie Crust
- Place two cups of flour in the food processor with 6 tablespoon of shortening and 1 stick of butter that is cold and cut into chunks. Add in a pinch of salt and pulse until the mixture is very fine. Slowly add in 1/4 cup of ice cold water. Keep pulsing till the mixture forms a ball. Remove from the food processor and knead slightly and put in the refrigerator for one hour.
