Ingredients
Instructions
- Line the sides and bottom of a deep baking dish with Pioneer pie crust, reserving some dough to put on top of the cobbler.
- Spoon peaches over the bottom crust and sprinkle with 1/2 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and dot with 3 teaspoons oleo (butter).
- Cut the reserved dough into strips and lay on top of the peaches to form a lattice or cover the filling.
- Dot the top with 3 teaspoons oleo (butter) and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon sugar and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 45 minutes until golden and bubbly.
Tips & Substitutions
For a deeper flavor, consider using a mix of fresh and canned peaches. If you're out of oleo, unsalted butter works perfectly as a substitute. To enhance the dish, you can add a splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of nutmeg. Ensure the pie crust is cold before handling for the best texture. Remember to check the cobbler halfway through baking to ensure even browning.
Serving Suggestions
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an indulgent treat. It pairs beautifully with Hot Cranberry-Apple Cider for a comforting fall dessert. You can also sprinkle some chopped nuts on top for added texture and flavor, enhancing the overall experience.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover peach cobbler in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place individual servings in the microwave for about 30 seconds or warm the entire dish in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 10-15 minutes, covered with foil to prevent over-browning.
