Triple Crust Peach Cobbler

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Peach Filling

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the peaches, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until the peaches are evenly coated with the sugar and cornstarch mixture.
2. Set aside for 10-15 minutes to allow the juices to develop.

Step 2: Make the Crust

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
2. Add the chilled butter cubes to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Add the milk and vanilla extract and stir until the dough just comes together. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour until it is workable.

Step 3: Assemble the Cobbler

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Lightly grease a 9×9-inch baking dish or similar-sized dish.
3. Spread half of the crust mixture into the bottom of the baking dish, pressing it down to form an even layer.
4. Pour the peach filling over the crust, spreading it evenly.
5. Crumble the remaining crust dough over the top of the peach filling in an even layer, leaving some gaps for the peaches to peek through. This will create a “triple” crust effect, with the filling in between the layers.
6. Beat the egg and brush it over the top of the crust to give it a golden finish as it bakes.

Step 4: Bake the Cobbler

1. Bake the cobbler in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling around the edges.
2. Let the cobbler cool for about 10 minutes before serving.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

1. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
