Ingredients:
For the pie crust:
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
4-6 tablespoons ice water
For the filling:
5 cups fresh or frozen peaches (peeled and sliced)
¾ cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
½ teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the cobbler topping:
1 cup all-purpose flour
½ cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon cinnamon
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
1 large egg
Instructions:
Prepare the pie crust:
In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the cold cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together.
Shape the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Once chilled, roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface to fit your pie dish. Press the dough into the dish and trim any excess.
Prepare the peach filling:
In a large bowl, mix the sliced peaches with sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined and set aside.
Assemble the pie:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pour the peach filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.
Make the cobbler topping:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
Stir in the melted butter and egg, mixing until the batter forms a thick consistency.
Spoon dollops of the cobbler topping over the peach filling. It will spread as it bakes.
Bake the pie:
Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the cobbler topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling.
Cool and serve:
Allow the pie to cool for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help the filling set. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Description: This Peach Cobbler Pie is a perfect blend of classic pie and cobbler, with a buttery pie crust that holds a sweet and tangy peach filling, topped with a light and crumbly cobbler topping. The combination of flavors and textures makes it a delightful dessert for any occasion. Whether you’re using fresh summer peaches or frozen fruit, this pie is always a crowd-pleaser.
Tips:
Fresh or Frozen Peaches: If using frozen peaches, make sure to thaw and drain them to prevent excess liquid in the pie.
Pie Crust Tip: If you’re short on time, you can use store-bought pie crust, but homemade will give you the best texture and flavor.
Prevent Over-browning: If the cobbler topping starts to brown too quickly, cover the edges of the pie with foil and continue baking.
Spice Variations: For a deeper flavor, add a pinch of ground ginger or cloves to the peach filling for extra warmth.
Make Ahead: This pie can be made a day ahead and stored in the refrigerator. Simply reheat before serving for the best taste.
Variations:
Berry Peach Cobbler Pie: Add a cup of fresh or frozen berries (blueberries, raspberries, or strawberries) to the peach filling for a fruity twist.
Nutty Cobbler Topping: Add chopped pecans or almonds to the cobbler topping for an added crunch.
Coconut Peach Cobbler Pie: Stir some shredded coconut into the cobbler topping for a tropical flavor.
Peach Bourbon Pie: For an adult twist, add a tablespoon of bourbon to the peach filling for a rich, warm flavor.
Corrections:
Ensure your pie crust is well-chilled before rolling it out. If it’s too warm, it will be hard to handle and may become tough.
Be careful not to overbake the pie. The cobbler topping should be golden brown, but if you bake it too long, it may become dry or hard.
Enjoy: Sit back, relax, and savor the sweetness of this Peach Cobbler Pie. It’s the perfect dessert for any occasion—rich, comforting, and full of flavor!
