Description

A classic Southern dessert featuring sweet, juicy peaches in a rich cinnamon-infused syrup, topped with a tender, flaky crust. This home-style cobbler is perfect for any gathering or cozy family dinner.


Ingredients

Scale

3 cans (29 oz each) canned peaches in light syrup, or 6 cups fresh peaches + ½ cup sugar
½ cup (1 stick) salted butter, or unsalted butter + ¼ tsp salt
1 cup granulated sugar
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg, freshly grated if possible
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
3 teaspoons all-purpose flour (for slurry)
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour (for crust)
2 teaspoons granulated sugar (for crust)
1 teaspoon salt (Kosher is preferred)
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
½ cup very cold water
1 egg (for egg wash)
1 teaspoon water (mixed with egg)
Ground cinnamon (for garnish)


Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C)
Drain two cans of peaches, reserving the syrup. Add a third can of peaches and drain as well.
In a large saucepan, combine the drained peaches, reserved syrup, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract. Heat gently, stirring occasionally.
Mix the 3 teaspoons of all-purpose flour with 2 tablespoons of cold water to create a slurry. Add the slurry to the saucepan and stir until the filling thickens, about 5–7 minutes. Remove from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the 2 ½ cups flour, 2 teaspoons granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt for the crust. Add the cold, cubed butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse sand.
Slowly add the cold water, a few tablespoons at a time, until the dough comes together. Knead gently and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Roll out the dough on a floured surface and press it into the bottom of a 9-inch round or deep-dish baking dish. Pour the warm peach filling into the crust.
Roll out the second half of the dough and cut into strips or shapes of your choice to create a decorative lattice or top crust.
Brush the crust with the egg wash (1 egg mixed with 1 teaspoon water).
Sprinkle a little ground cinnamon over the cobbler before baking.
Place on a baking tray to catch any drips and bake for 55–65 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

For a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend for the crust and filling.
Canned peaches ensure consistency but can be substituted with fresh ones in peak season.
Allow the cobbler to rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing to let the syrup settle.
