Ingredients
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| All-purpose flour | 9 tbsp |
| Sugar | 4 tbsp |
| Salt | 2 1/3 tsp |
| Fresh lemon juice | 1/2 tbsp |
| Ground cinnamon | 2 tsp |
| Ground nutmeg | 2 tsp |
| Peach brandy | 1/4 cup |
| Butter | 1 1/2 tbsp |
Instructions
-
Prepare the Peach Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the first seven ingredients: flour, sugar, salt, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and peach brandy. Stir them together to create a smooth mixture. Let this mixture sit for a few minutes to allow the sugar to dissolve and form a syrupy texture.
-
-
Cook the Peaches: Transfer the peach mixture to a saucepan over medium heat. Bring it to a boil, stirring occasionally. Once the mixture has reached a boil, reduce the heat immediately to a gentle simmer. Let it simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the peaches become tender. If your peaches are especially firm, you may need to simmer them for a bit longer to achieve the perfect tenderness.
-
Add the Finishing Touches: Once the peaches are tender, remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the almond extract, peach brandy, and butter until everything is well combined. Set aside and let the peach mixture cool slightly.
-
Prepare the Pie Pastry: Roll out half of the pie pastry dough on a floured surface. Use a rolling pin to flatten the dough to about 1/8-inch thickness. Cut it to fit your baking dish, which should measure around 8 X 10 inches. If you don’t have this exact size, any slightly larger pan will work fine. Butter the baking dish generously to prevent sticking, then spoon half of the hot peach mixture into the dish.
-
Assemble the Cobbler: Place the prepared pie crust over the peaches, covering them completely. Transfer the baking dish into a preheated oven set to 475°F (245°C) and bake for about 12 minutes, or until the crust begins to turn golden.
-
Finish Assembling: After 12 minutes, remove the dish from the oven. Spoon the remaining peach filling over the crust, spreading it evenly. Roll out the remaining pie dough and cut it into strips to create a lattice pattern for the top of your cobbler. Arrange the strips over the peach mixture, forming the lattice design.
-
Bake to Perfection: Return the cobbler to the oven and bake for another 12-15 minutes, or until the crust has turned a golden brown and is cooked through. Keep an eye on the cobbler as it bakes to ensure the top doesn’t over-brown, and adjust the baking time slightly if needed to achieve your desired result.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once your cobbler has reached the perfect golden color, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. This warm peach cobbler is ideal when served with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
