Ingredients
Instructions
- Roll out two-thirds of the pastry dough on a lightly floured surface to fit a 10 x 6-inch baking dish.
- Drain the peach slices and place them in a large mixing bowl.
- Add the sugar, flour, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, salt, and almond extract to the peaches.
- Mix gently to combine the fruit and spice mixture.
- Add the raisins to the fruit mixture and stir well.
- Transfer the fruit and raisin mixture into the prepared baking dish.
- Dot the top of the fruit mixture with small pieces of margarine or butter.
- Cover the filling with the remaining pastry dough, sealing the edges.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for approximately 40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
Tips & Substitutions
For a flakier crust, use chilled butter in the pastry and avoid overworking the dough. If fresh peaches are in season, substitute them for canned for a more vibrant flavor. Consider using a mix of dark and golden raisins for added texture. If you prefer a less sweet cobbler, reduce the sugar by 1/4 cup.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this delicious peach raisin deep dish cobbler warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for a delightful contrast. It pairs beautifully with Golf Cart Tea for a refreshing beverage option. Enjoy it as a dessert or a sweet brunch treat alongside fresh fruit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen peaches instead of canned?
Yes, you can use frozen peaches! Just be sure to thaw and drain them well before mixing with other ingredients to avoid excess moisture in the cobbler.
How can I make this recipe gluten-free?
To make a gluten-free version, substitute regular flour with a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend in the filling and use a gluten-free pie crust. Ensure all other ingredients are gluten-free as well.
What can I use if I don't have almond extract?
If you don't have almond extract, you can substitute it with vanilla extract for a different flavor profile. It will still complement the peaches and raisins nicely.
