Instructions
Prepare the Filling
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced peaches, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Gently stir using a spoon or spatula until the peaches are evenly coated and the mixture looks slightly glossy. The juices will begin to release, which is expected and helps create a smooth filling.
Assemble the Dish
-
Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or a deep pie dish. Pour the peach mixture into the dish and spread it into an even layer. Scatter the cubed butter evenly over the top so it melts into the fruit while baking and adds richness.
Add the Crust
-
Place the pie crust over the peach filling, either as a full sheet or cut into strips for a lattice pattern. Trim any excess dough and gently press the edges to seal. Brush the surface evenly with the beaten egg using a pastry brush to help the crust bake to a golden, glossy finish.
Bake the Cobbler
-
Place the dish in a preheated oven at 375°F. Bake for about 45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling around the edges. If the crust begins to brown too quickly, loosely cover the edges with foil and continue baking.
Cool Before Serving
-
Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it rest for 10 to 15 minutes. The filling will thicken as it cools, becoming rich and glossy. Serve while still warm for the best texture and flavor.
Note
For even cooking, slice the peaches into similar-sized pieces.
If the filling appears too thin, add 1/2 tablespoon additional cornstarch next time.
Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheat in the oven at a low temperature to maintain a crisp crust.
Ensure the filling is bubbling before removing from the oven to avoid a runny texture.
