Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 0.5 cup Ice water
- 6 cups Fresh peaches (peeled, pitted, and sliced)
- 0.5 cup Light brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 Egg (beaten, for egg wash)
- 2 tablespoons Coarse sugar (for topping, optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Divide the dough into two equal portions, shape into discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine the sliced peaches, brown sugar, 1 cup of granulated sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and vanilla extract.
Cook the peach mixture, stirring often, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture thickens slightly, about 8–10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disc of dough into a large rectangle or circle, about 1/8-inch thick. Place the rolled dough into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, making sure it covers the bottom and sides.
Pour the peach filling over the bottom crust and spread evenly.
Roll out the second disc of dough to the same thickness and carefully place it over the peach filling. Trim any excess dough and crimp the edges to seal.
Use a sharp knife to cut slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
Brush the top crust with the beaten egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired.
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 let it cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.
Serve warm on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
