Equipment

  • Baking Dish
  • measuring spoons and cups
  • Pastry brush

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon Butter, softened
  • 8 cups Fresh Peaches, sliced Use 6-8 peaches
  • ¼ cup Sugar
  • ½ teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 3-4 Tablespoons Cornstarch Use 4 if peaches are extra juicy
  • 1 Pie Crust, rolled and cut into 3" squares
  • 1 Egg, beaten
  • 3 tablespoons Sugar (for topping)
  • ¼ teaspoon Cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400F degrees. Prepare a 9 x 13" oval baking dish or 9 ½ (inch) large pie dish by greasing the bottom and sides with the tablespoon of softened butter.
  • Wash, dry and slice the peaches in half and then in quarters, add them to a large bowl.
    Add the quarter cup of sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract and cornstarch to the bowl and toss until the cornstarch disappears into the the peaches, just a few turns. Add the peaches mixture to the baking dish.
  • On a flat surface, roll out the pie crust to a rough rectangle shape, then cut into 3" (inch) squares. Place the pie crust squares across the baking dish in rows, with each row slightly overlapping the other in a shingle-style. This doesn't need to look perfect!
    In a small bowl, beat the egg. Brush a little of the egg wash over all the pie crust pieces, not so much that the egg pools in any one spot.
    Combine the remaining sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl, then sprinkle evenly over the top.
    Place the baking dish on a large baking sheet to make it easier to remove from the oven.
    Bake at 400F for 50-55 minutes, until the crust is lightly golden brown. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream.

Notes

  • There's no need to peel the peaches in this recipe.
  • Use 8 peaches if they're small
  • Use 4 tablespoons of cornstarch if the peaches are really juicy
  • Taste the peaches for sweetness, and adjust the sugar if needed. If the peaches are on the sour side, use a bit more than the quarter cup that's called for. 
  • You can add a tiny squeeze (a teaspoon) of fresh lemon juice if your peaches are really sweet.
  • Use brown sugar on the inside of the peach cobbler filling instead of white for a subtle and delicious flavor variation
