How to Make It

Get ready to enjoy a delicious peach cobbler with these easy steps.

Preheat the oven

Preheat your oven to 400°F. Ensuring your oven is hot will help achieve the perfect texture in the pie crust.

Prepare the pie crust

Roll out the double crust buttery pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie pan. Trim the excess edges, and set it aside in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling.

Prepare the peaches

In a large mixing bowl, combine the frozen sliced peaches, granulated sugar, all-purpose flour (if using), melted butter, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Toss gently until peaches are well-coated.

Fill the crust

Pour the peach filling into the prepared pie crust, distributing it evenly across the surface.

Top with egg white

Brush the edges of the pie crust with the egg white. This step adds shine and a delicate texture to the cobbler.

Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar

Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar evenly over the top of the peach filling and crust. This adds a sweet crunch that contrasts perfectly with the soft peaches.

Bake

Place the cobbler in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Watch carefully towards the end of baking to avoid over-browning.

How to Store It

Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Freezer: Yes, freeze for up to 3 months.
Reheat: Warm in a 350°F oven for 15-20 minutes.

Tips for Best Results

• For a more intense peach flavor, add a splash of peach schnapps to the filling.
• Always let the cobbler cool before slicing; this helps it set.
• Use a deep-dish pan if you prefer more filling to crust ratio.

Serving Suggestions

• Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.
• Pair with a dollop of whipped cream for added luxury.
• Enjoy as a delightful brunch option alongside coffee.
