Instructions
-
Prepare the peach filling: In a large bowl, mix peaches, sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Stir gently to combine. Set aside to thicken.
-
Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
Prepare the pie crust: Roll out the pie crust and fit it into a 9×13-inch baking dish. Trim excess and set aside.
-
Make the biscuit crust: Combine flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a medium bowl. Add cold butter and cut it in with a pastry cutter or fingers until the mixture forms coarse crumbs. Add milk and stir until dough forms.
-
Assemble the cobbler: Pour peach filling into the prepared pie crust. Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough over the peaches, covering as much as possible.
-
Make the crumb topping: Mix flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and softened butter in a small bowl until crumbly. Sprinkle evenly over the biscuit dough.
-
Bake the cobbler: Bake for 40-45 minutes until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Cover loosely with aluminum foil for the first 20 minutes to prevent over-browning, then remove to crisp up.
-
Cool and serve: Let the cobbler cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
