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:

1. Slice the peaches and combine with the lemon and orange juice to prevent discoloration.
2. In a bowl, combine the sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon, and cornstarch.
3. Put peaches and butter in a non-aluminum pan. Heat until butter is melted, then stir in the sugar mixture. Remove from heat.
4. 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.
5. 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.
