How to Make Southern Double Crust Peach Cobber

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine 3 cups flour and 1 teaspoon salt.
  3. Cut in 1 cup Crisco using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Gradually add 1/2 cup ice water, mixing until the dough just comes together.
  5. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 3 minutes.
  6. Divide dough in half, shape into balls, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  7. In a large bowl, combine 6 cups sliced peaches, 1 cup sugar, 1/4 cup flour, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg.
  8. In a large saucepan, melt 6 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Add the peach mixture and cook, stirring occasionally, for 7 minutes.
  9. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  10. On a lightly floured surface, roll out one dough ball into a 12x10 inch rectangle.
  11. Transfer to an 11x9 inch greased baking dish.
  12. Pour the peach filling over the crust.
  13. Dot the top with 2 tablespoons of butter, cut into small pieces.
  14. Roll out the second dough ball and cut into 1-inch wide strips.
  15. Arrange the strips over the peach filling in a lattice pattern or any desired design.
  16. Brush the top strips with softened butter using a pastry brush or paper towel.
  17. Sprinkle with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  18. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
