Ingredients

Scale

Peach Filling

  • 4–5 ripe fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

Dough

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into pieces
  • 1/2 cup milk, cold (or non-dairy alternative)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Peach Filling: Peel and slice fresh peaches, then toss them with sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a bit of flour to help thicken the filling during baking and develop a fragrant, juicy filling.
  2. Make the Dough: Whisk together flour, salt, baking powder, and sugar. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture is crumbly, then gradually add cold milk to form a soft dough that is easy to roll out.
  3. Roll Out the First Crust: Divide the dough into three equal portions. Roll out the first portion and gently press it into the bottom of your baking dish to create an even base layer.
  4. Add the Peach Filling: Pour the peach mixture over the base crust, spreading it evenly but carefully to prevent juices from spilling during baking.
  5. Add the Second and Third Crusts: Roll out the second dough portion and layer it over the peaches. Then roll out the final crust and cover the top, sealing the edges by pinching them together to lock in the filling.
  6. Bake Until Golden: Brush the top crust with milk or egg wash for a shiny finish, if desired. Bake the cobbler at 375°F (190°C) for 45-50 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling through.

Notes

  • Chill ingredients: Use cold butter and cold dough for flakier crust layers.
  • Use ripe peaches: Juicy peaches add more flavor and moisture.
  • Mix dough minimally: Combine just until it forms to keep dough tender and crumbly.
  • Seal crust edges well: Prevent leaking of peach juices and keep the cobbler tidy.
  • Let cool slightly before serving: Allows filling to set perfectly.
