by

A delightful combination of flaky pie crust, juicy spiced peaches, and a crumbly, buttery cobbler topping. Perfect for summer gatherings or a cozy dessert.

Ingredients:

For the Crust:

  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
  • 1/4 cup ice water

For the Peach Filling:

  • 4-5 medium ripe peaches, peeled and sliced (about 4 cups)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • Pinch of salt

For the Cobbler Topping:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
  • 1/2 cup milk

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Crust:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
  • Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Gradually add the ice water, a tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together.
  • Form the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  • After chilling, roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to a 12-inch circle.
  • Transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie plate, trim the edges, and crimp. Refrigerate while you prepare the filling.

2. Prepare the Peach Filling:

  • In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  • Gently toss until the peaches are evenly coated.
  • Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to allow the peaches to release some of their juices.

3. Prepare the Cobbler Topping:

  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  • Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Stir in the milk until just combined. Do not overmix.

4. Assemble and Bake:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Pour the peach filling into the prepared pie crust.
  • Drop spoonfuls of the cobbler topping over the peach filling, leaving some peaches visible.
  • Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any juices that may spill over.
  • Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown, the filling is bubbling, and the cobbler topping is cooked through and lightly browned.
  • Let the pie cool for at least 20 minutes before slicing and serving.

Optional additions:

  • A scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream makes a wonderful topping.
  • You can add a small amount of almond extract to the peach filling for extra flavor.
  • For a streusel topping, you can add rolled oats and brown sugar to the cobbler topping recipe.

Enjoy your delicious Peach Cobbler Pie!
