🍑🥧 Triple Crust Peach Cobbler
🕒 Prep Time: 20 min
🕒 Bake Time: 50–60 min
🍽️ Serves: 10–12
🧂 Ingredients:
🍑 Peach Filling:
-
2 large cans (29 oz each) sliced peaches in syrup, drained (or 6 cups fresh or frozen peaches)
-
1 cup granulated sugar
-
1/2 cup brown sugar
-
1/4 cup melted butter
-
2 tbsp cornstarch
-
1 tbsp lemon juice
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon
-
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
🥧 Crust (3 layers):
-
2 boxes (14.1 oz each) refrigerated pie crusts (4 crusts total)
OR use homemade pie dough — enough for 2 double crusts -
1 egg + 1 tbsp water (for egg wash)
-
Sugar for sprinkling (optional)
🔪 Instructions:
1. Preheat Oven:
-
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. Make the Peach Filling:
-
In a large saucepan, combine peaches, sugars, cornstarch, melted butter, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla.
-
Simmer over medium heat for 8–10 minutes until bubbly and thickened slightly. Remove from heat.
3. Layer the Crusts:
-
Bottom Crust:
Roll out one pie crust and press it into the bottom of the baking dish. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until lightly golden. (This keeps the bottom from getting soggy.) -
Middle Crust:
Roll out a second crust and cut it into strips or rough pieces. Set aside. -
Top Crust:
Use the remaining 1–2 crusts for the top layer — you can do a full cover, lattice, or patchwork.
4. Assemble the Cobbler:
-
Pour half of the peach filling over the baked bottom crust.
-
Layer the middle crust strips over the filling.
-
Add the rest of the peach filling.
-
Cover with the top crust, crimping edges if using a full sheet. Cut slits for steam, or arrange lattice or pieces.
-
Brush top with egg wash and sprinkle with sugar if desired.
5. Bake:
-
Bake at 375°F for 40–50 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbling.
-
Cover loosely with foil in the last 15 minutes if the crust browns too quickly.
6. Cool & Serve:
-
Let rest at least 15–20 minutes before serving.
-
Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
🍴 Tips:
-
Want a crispier middle crust? Blind-bake it first on a baking sheet before layering.
-
For extra flavor, add a splash of bourbon or almond extract to the peach filling.
