Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the peaches, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, cornstarch, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and vanilla extract. Toss everything together until the peaches are evenly coated. Set the mixture aside and allow it to sit for about 10 minutes to release some of the juices.
Roll out one of the two pie crusts into a 12-inch circle and carefully fit it into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Trim any excess dough hanging over the edges.
Pour the peach filling into the prepared baking dish. Dot the filling with the small pieces of unsalted butter.
Roll out the second pie crust into a 12-inch circle. Place it over the peach filling, or cut it into strips to create a lattice pattern. If using a full sheet of dough, cut small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
Trim and crimp the edges of the top and bottom crusts together to seal.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk to create an egg wash. Use a pastry brush to brush the top crust with the egg wash. Sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired.
Place the cobbler on a baking sheet to catch any spills, and bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Remove the cobbler from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 15-20 minutes before serving. This will help the filling set.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra special treat.
