Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine sliced peaches, sugar, flour, and ground nutmeg in a bowl and set aside until syrup forms.
- Bring the peach mixture to a boil.
- Reduce heat to low and cook for 10 minutes or until peaches are tender.
- Remove from heat and mix in almond extract and melted butter.
- Roll out half of the pastry to a thickness of 1/8 inch on a floured surface.
- Cut the pastry to fit a 2-quart shallow casserole dish.
- Spoon half of the peach mixture into a lightly buttered casserole and top with the pastry cutout.
- Bake at 475°F for 12 minutes or until golden brown.
- Spoon the remaining peach mixture over the baked pastry.
- Roll out the remaining pastry and cut into 1/2-inch strips to create a lattice over the peaches.
- Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes or until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For the best flavor, use ripe, fresh peaches and adjust the sugar based on their sweetness. If you don't have almond extract, vanilla extract is a great substitute. To save time, you can use store-bought pastry. Make sure to let the peach mixture sit long enough for the syrup to develop, as this enhances the overall sweetness and texture.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Southern Peach Cobbler Supreme warm, possibly with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for added richness. It pairs beautifully with Strawberry Crunch Salad Or Dessert for a delightful summer meal. Enjoy it as a comforting dessert after a hearty dinner.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover peach cobbler in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When reheating, place it in a preheated oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes until warmed through. This helps maintain the crispness of the pastry.
