Ingredients
For the Peach Filling
6 cups fresh or frozen peaches, sliced
1 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
¼ cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp lemon juice
¼ tsp ground nutmeg (optional)
For the Crust
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
½ cup granulated sugar
¼ tsp salt
½ cup ice water
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare the Peach Filling
In a large bowl, combine peaches, sugar, flour, cinnamon, lemon juice, and nutmeg.
Toss gently until peaches are coated.
Set aside to allow juices to develop while you prepare the crust.
- Make the Crust
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt.
Add cold, cubed butter. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to cut butter into flour until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add ice water, mixing just until dough comes together.
Divide dough into three equal portions. Wrap each in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Assemble the Cobbler
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Roll out one portion of dough to fit the bottom of your baking dish. Place it inside and press gently.
Spread half of the peach filling over the crust.
Roll out the second portion of dough and place it over the peaches, sealing edges lightly.
Add the remaining peach filling on top.
Roll out the final portion of dough and place it over the last layer of peaches. Crimp edges to seal.
Cut slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
- Bake
Place cobbler in preheated oven.
Bake for 45–55 minutes, until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbling.
Cool slightly before serving to allow filling to set.
Tips for Success
Cold butter is key: Ensures a flaky crust.
Don’t overwork dough: Keeps crust tender.
Taste peaches first: Adjust sugar depending on sweetness of fruit.
Slits in crust: Prevent soggy texture by letting steam escape.
Variations
Berry cobbler: Replace half the peaches with blueberries or raspberries.
Spiced version: Add cardamom or ginger for extra warmth.
Nutty topping: Sprinkle chopped pecans or almonds over the top crust before baking.
Gluten-free: Use a gluten-free flour blend for the crust.
Serving Ideas
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Drizzle with caramel sauce for extra indulgence.
Pair with whipped cream for a lighter finish.
Enjoy cold the next day for breakfast—it’s just as delicious!
Storage
Refrigerator: Store covered for up to 4 days.
