Grandma’s Peach Cobbler Pie Recipe
Ingredients
For the Filling:
- 6–7 fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (or 6 cups canned peaches, drained)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 3 tbsp cornstarch
- 1/4 cup water (if using fresh peaches)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
For the Topping:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 large egg
Optional:
- Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for serving
Instructions
- Preheat Oven
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish or baking dish.
- Prepare the Filling
- In a large saucepan, combine the peaches, granulated sugar, brown sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, cornstarch, and water (if using fresh peaches). Cook over medium heat until the mixture thickens, about 5–7 minutes. Stir in the vanilla extract and pour the filling into the prepared pie dish.
- Make the Topping
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a small bowl, whisk the milk and egg together, then pour into the flour mixture. Stir until just combined.
- Assemble the Pie
- Drop spoonfuls of the topping over the peach filling, leaving some gaps for steam to escape.
- Bake
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Cool and Serve
- Allow the cobbler pie to cool slightly before serving. Top with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence.
Tips for Success
- If fresh peaches are not in season, canned or frozen peaches work well. Be sure to drain canned peaches thoroughly or thaw and drain frozen ones.
- Sprinkle a little sugar on the topping before baking for a delightful crunch.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat before serving.
