Peach cobbler and ALL OF THE FEELS have gone hand in hand for as long as I can remember in my family. It usually meant my Mom was in the kitchen surrounded by all of her loves who were anxiously awaiting her masterpiece! My Mom’s peach cobbler was (and still is) a huge part of every family gathering. No one can make it quite like her and EVERY ONE of us measures the success of our own version by her example. Mine is the best … just saying. Shhhhh, don’t tell my sisters or other family members. It was no easy task to watch her throw in ‘this and that’ and then adapt that to a recipe. So, although this will not be exactly like Granna’s Peach Cobbler, it’s pretty darn close.
You will need:
8 peaches peeled and sliced (or frozen)
a squeeze of lemon
2 Tablespoons flour (or 1 T of corn starch)
1 cup sugar (more if the peaches aren’t sweet)
1 1/2 sticks of butter (reserve 1/2 a stick to put on top of the crust)
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon or nutmeg (I prefer nutmeg)
1 pie crust recipe (see my recipe under ‘Tips’ or buy two store bought crusts)
Preheat oven to 375 degrees
Place the peaches in a large bowl and add the squeeze of lemon, flour (or cornstarch), sugar, vanilla and cinnamon (or nutmeg). Mix together and pour into a glass or ceramic baking dish. Add 1 stick of butter (cut in cubes) on top of the peaches and place into the oven. Cook until the peaches cook down a bit and the mixture starts to bubble or about 15-20 minutes.
While the peaches are cooking, make your pie crust or roll out one of your two store bought crusts to fit the baking dish. Carefully remove the peaches from the oven and taste for sweetness. You want it to taste a little too sweet. If it doesn’t, add a little more sugar. Just trust me. Place one pie crust on top. Spoon some of the peach mixture over the top of the crust and place it back into the oven for 5 minutes just to let the dough start to cook and puff up a bit. Remove the dish from the oven and place the final crust on top. Randomly place the remaining 1/2 stick of butter on top of the crust and sprinkle with a tablespoon of sugar. Put the cobbler back into the oven and cook for 15 minutes or until the crust browns. Top with vanilla ice cream and feel ALL OF THE FEELS!
Enjoy 💗
