Here’s a classic, comforting recipe for Old-Fashioned Peach Cobbler Pie—soft, juicy peaches with a buttery, golden crust.
🍑 Old-Fashioned Peach Cobbler Pie
🛒 Ingredients (serves 6–8)
For the filling:
- 6–7 fresh peaches (or 2 cans, ~900g total), peeled and sliced
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp ground nutmeg
- 2 tbsp cornstarch (for thickening)
For the crust/topping:
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup unsalted butter (cold, cut into small pieces)
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ tsp salt
- 3–4 tbsp ice water
Optional:
- Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for serving
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Prepare the filling
- In a large bowl, mix peaches with:
- Granulated sugar
- Brown sugar
- Lemon juice
- Vanilla
- Cinnamon
- Nutmeg
- Cornstarch
- Toss gently and set aside to macerate for 10–15 minutes.
2. Make the crust
- In a bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt.
- Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add ice water 1 tbsp at a time until dough just comes together.
- Divide into 2 portions: one slightly larger for the bottom crust.
3. Assemble the pie
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Roll out the larger portion of dough and line a 9-inch pie pan.
- Pour peach filling over the crust.
- Roll out the remaining dough and place on top:
- As a full crust with slits, or
- Cut into strips for a lattice pattern
4. Bake
- Bake for 45–50 minutes, until crust is golden and filling is bubbly.
- If the crust browns too quickly, cover edges with foil.
5. Serve
- Let cool 15–20 minutes before slicing.
- Top with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream if desired.
🔥 Tips for best results
- Use ripe, juicy peaches for maximum flavor.
- Toss peaches in a bit of lemon juice to prevent browning.
- For extra buttery flavor, brush top crust with milk or melted butter before baking.
If you want, I can also give a quick 30-minute version using frozen peaches—perfect if fresh peaches aren’t available.
Do you want me to make that version too?
