🍑 Grandma’s Peach Cobbler Pie
A buttery, golden-crusted dessert that tastes like a hug from Grandma!
This old-fashioned peach cobbler pie combines juicy peaches with a tender, biscuit-like topping—simple, rustic, and bursting with summer flavor.
🥧 Ingredients (Serves 8–10)
Filling:
-
6–7 ripe peaches (peeled & sliced, ~5 cups)
-
½ cup (100g) granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
-
1 tbsp lemon juice
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
2 tbsp cornstarch (or flour, to thicken)
-
½ tsp cinnamon
-
Pinch of nutmeg (optional)
Topping:
-
1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
-
½ cup (100g) sugar
-
1½ tsp baking powder
-
¼ tsp salt
-
½ cup (120ml) milk
-
½ cup (115g) melted butter
-
Optional: 1 tsp cinnamon-sugar for sprinkling
👵 Grandma’s Method
1. Prep the peaches:
-
Toss sliced peaches with sugar, lemon juice, vanilla, cornstarch, and spices. Let sit 15 mins to macerate.
2. Make the topping:
-
Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in milk until just combined (lumpy batter = fluffier cobbler!).
3. Assemble & bake:
-
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
Pour peaches into a 9×13″ baking dish (or deep pie dish). Drizzle melted butter over the fruit.
-
Drop spoonfuls of batter on top—don’t spread! (Grandma’s secret for a rustic look.)
-
Sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar if desired.
-
Bake 40–45 mins until golden and bubbly.
4. Serve warm:
-
Best with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream!
💡 Tips & Secrets
-
Crust variation: For a pie-like crust, use a rolled biscuit dough (like a shortcake topping).
-
Canned peaches? Drain 2 (15oz) cans and reduce sugar to ¼ cup.
-
Extra crunch: Add ½ cup chopped pecans to the topping.
-
Make ahead: Assemble unbaked and refrigerate overnight—bake before serving!
