Peach Pie & Cobbler
Cobbler Crust Ingredients:
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup shortening
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup ice water
Peach Filling Ingredients:
- 3 pounds peaches
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 3/4 cup fresh orange juice
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 stick butter
Directions:
- Slice the peaches and combine with the lemon and orange juice to prevent discoloration.
- In a bowl, combine the sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon, and cornstarch.
- Put peaches and butter in a non-aluminum pan. Heat until butter is melted, then stir in the sugar mixture. Remove from heat.
- For cobbler: Roll half of dough into 1/4" thickness. Cut into 1/2" wide strips. Pour filling into pan and cover top with lattice-woven strips. Sprinkle with sugar then melted butter.
- Bake at 400 degrees for about 15 minutes and then at 350 degrees 35-40 minutes until crust is light brown and cobbler is bubbly.
Makes 7 pounds cobbler. 10-12 servings.
Note: This same filling can be used to make a pie. You can use a full crust or the lattice-woven strip crust.
