A comforting old-fashioned dessert with juicy peaches baked in a sweet syrup and topped with a buttery cobbler-style crust. This classic recipe is simple, nostalgic, and perfect served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
📝 Ingredients
1 cup cold water
1 cup melted margarine
1½ cups granulated sugar
4 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (or canned peaches in juice)
2 tablespoons cornstarch
Optional for extra flavor:
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 ready-made pie crust or simple biscuit topping
👩🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Prepare the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish or baking dish.
2️⃣ Make the Peach Filling
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the sliced peaches, sugar, and cold water. Stir gently and allow the mixture to heat until the peaches begin to soften.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with a tablespoon of water to create a smooth slurry. Add this mixture to the peaches while stirring continuously. Cook for 2–3 minutes until the filling thickens into a glossy syrup.
If desired, stir in vanilla extract or cinnamon for extra flavor.
3️⃣ Assemble the Pie
Pour the peach filling into the prepared pie dish. Drizzle the melted margarine evenly over the top.
If using a pie crust, place it over the filling and cut a few small slits to allow steam to escape.
4️⃣ Bake the Cobbler Pie
Place the dish in the oven and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the crust turns golden brown and the peach filling begins to bubble around the edges.
5️⃣ Cool and Serve
Remove from the oven and allow the cobbler pie to cool for about 10–15 minutes so the filling can set slightly.
Serve warm for the best flavor and texture.
