Ingredients

6 large peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced

1 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1 tablespoon lemon juice

3 pre-made pie crusts (or homemade if preferred)

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Directions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Stir gently to coat the peaches evenly.

Roll out the first pie crust and place it in the bottom of the baking dish, pressing it into the corners. Trim any excess crust.

Pour half of the peach mixture over the first crust. Roll out the second crust and lay it over the peaches, trimming the edges and pressing lightly to seal.

Add the remaining peach mixture on top of the second crust, spreading it evenly.

Roll out the final crust and place it over the peaches. Trim and seal the edges, then cut a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.

Brush the top crust with melted butter, followed by the beaten egg wash. Sprinkle with turbinado sugar if desired.

Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling.

Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, if desired.

Variations

Berry Blend: Substitute half of the peaches with fresh or frozen berries like blueberries or raspberries.

Spiced Twist: Add a pinch of ground ginger or cardamom for a unique flavor profile.

Crumb Topping: Sprinkle a mixture of brown sugar, flour, and butter over the top crust before baking for a crumbly texture.

Gluten-Free: Use gluten-free pie crusts and thicken the filling with tapioca starch instead of cornstarch.

Sugar-Free: Replace the sugars with your favorite sugar-free sweeteners for a diabetic-friendly option.

Storage/Reheating

Storage: Cover and store the cobbler in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Reheating: Reheat individual portions in the microwave for 30-40 seconds, or warm the entire dish in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 15 minutes.

Freezing: Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and foil, then freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.

FAQs

How do I peel peaches easily?

I like blanching the peaches for 30 seconds in boiling water, then transferring them to an ice bath. The skins should slip off effortlessly.

Can I use canned peaches?

Yes, canned peaches can be used, but I recommend draining them well and reducing the sugar slightly since canned peaches are often sweetened.

Can I make this cobbler ahead of time?

Absolutely. You can assemble the cobbler, cover it tightly, and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours before baking.

What can I serve with this cobbler?

I enjoy serving it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a dollop of whipped cream, or even a drizzle of caramel sauce.

How do I prevent a soggy bottom crust?

Pre-baking the bottom crust for 5-7 minutes before adding the filling can help keep it crisp and firm.
