Now that we have our ingredients ready, let’s dive into the step-by-step instructions for making Grandma’s Peach Cobbler Pie.
Crust Preparation
- In a mixing bowl, combine the sifted flour and butter-flavored shortening.
- Using a pastry cutter or dough hooks, combine until the texture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add ice water and shape the mixture into a ball.
- Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate it for 45 minutes.
Peach Filling
- In a large pot, combine the sliced frozen peaches, water, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg.
- Heat the mixture over medium-high heat. When it starts to bubble, stir in the butter and vanilla extract.
- Create a slurry by mixing 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour with 1/2 cup of water.
- Add this slurry to the bubbling peach mixture, stirring well, and reduce the heat to low.
Assemble the Cobbler
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Roll out half of the prepared dough and cut it into 1-inch squares. Place these squares on a cookie sheet and bake for 7 minutes.
- Transfer the peach filling into a 13×9-inch baking dish. Gently fold in the partially baked dough squares.
- Roll out the remaining dough and cut it into strips. Arrange these strips over the filling in a lattice pattern.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes or until the crust turns a beautiful golden brown.
- Let it cool slightly, and for the ultimate experience, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
