Ingredients

  • 2 pre-made pie crusts
  • 4 –6 cans of peaches drained
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup white sugar
  • 2 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp ground nutmeg
  • ½ stick butter melted
  • Zest of one fresh lemon
  • Cornstarch slurry:
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp water

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) so it's ready when the cobbler is assembled.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained peaches, brown sugar, white sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon zest. Mix gently until well-coated.
  • Add the cornstarch slurry to the peach mixture and stir until fully incorporated. This will help the filling thicken beautifully as it bakes.
  • Roll out one pie crust and place it into the bottom of a baking dish, covering the base and slightly up the sides.
  • Bake for 10–12 minutes, until lightly golden to prevent sogginess.
  • Pour the peach filling over the pre-baked crust.
  • Cut the second pie crust into strips or shapes and place on top in a lattice pattern or your preferred design.
  • Drizzle the melted butter over the top crust for extra richness and golden color.
  • Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
  • Let the cobbler rest for 10 minutes to allow the filling to set.
  • Serve warm—especially delicious with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
