Peach Cobbler Pie

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Pie Crust:
   • In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the cold butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
   • Gradually add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
2. Prepare the Peach Filling:
   • In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches, granulated sugar, brown sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cornstarch. Toss until the peaches are evenly coated. Set aside.
3. Preheat the Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
4. Roll out the Pie Crust:
   • On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled pie dough to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Transfer the dough to the pie dish, trimming any excess around the edges. Crimp the edges for decoration, if desired.
5. Make the Cobbler Topping:
   • In a medium bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the cold cubed butter and use a pastry cutter to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
   • Pour the boiling water into the mixture and stir until just combined.
6. Assemble the Pie:
   • Pour the peach filling into the prepared pie crust. Drop spoonfuls of the cobbler topping over the peaches, spreading it out evenly.
7. Bake the Pie:
   • Brush the edges of the pie crust with the beaten egg (optional) to give it a golden brown finish.
   • Bake the pie for 45–50 minutes, or until the topping is golden and the peach filling is bubbling. If the crust or topping begins to brown too quickly, cover the pie loosely with aluminum foil.
8. Cool and Serve:
   • Allow the pie to cool for at least 15–20 minutes before slicing to let the filling set. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
