Ingredients: The Layered Toolkit
Gather these essentials for a cobbler that is flaky, syrupy, and deeply spiced:
- 4 cups Sliced Peaches: Fresh is soooo good, but canned (drained) is a perfect year-round weeknight rescue.
- The Sweetener: 1 cup sugar, 1 tsp cinnamon, and ½ tsp nutmeg.
- The Crust: 1 box refrigerated pie crusts (you will need 3 crusts total—most boxes come with 2, so grab an extra!).
- The Richness: ½ cup melted butter to “regulate” the moisture of the pastry.
- The Sparkle: Extra sugar for sprinkling on top for a classy look.
Instructions: The Triple-Tier Bake
The secret is the “Middle Crust”—it cooks inside the peach juices to create a soooo good texture that defines a true Southern cobbler!
