Southern Double Crust Peach Cobber Food

DOUBLE CRUSTED PEACH COBBLER

Steps:

• Crust:
• Place flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor and process for 5 seconds. Add butter and process until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add water, a few tablespoons at a time, until the dough just comes together.
• Remove dough and knead lightly on a lightly floured surface until it just comes together. Divide the dough in half and form into disks. Wrap each disk in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
• Once dough is chilled, remove from the refrigerator and roll each disk into a 9-inch square approximately 1/4-inch thick. Place on parchment paper-lined baking sheets and return to the refrigerator to chill until ready to assemble.
• Filling:
• Melt butter in a large high-sided saute pan over medium heat. Add the sugar and water and cook until sugar is dissolved. Add nutmeg, salt, peaches, and flour and cook for 5 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Place half of the peach mixture in the bottom of a 9-inch square buttered baking dish using a slotted spoon. Top the peaches with 1 layer of dough. Place on a baking sheet and bake until the crust is light golden brown. Remove from the oven and top the crust with the remaining peaches and cover with the other crust. Brush the top crust with heavy cream, sprinkle with sugar, and return to the oven. Bake until the crust is golden brown and the juices are bubbly. Let cool for at least 30 minutes before cutting and serving.

Once it does, bring the peach mixture to a boil; reduce the heat to low, and cook 10 minutes or until tender. Remove from the heat; add almond extract and 1/3 cup butter, stirring until butter melts.
• Roll half of the Double Crust Pastry to 1/8 inch thickness on a lightly floured surface; cut into a 9 inch square. Spoon half of the peaches into a lightly buttered 9 inch square pan; top with the pastry square. Bake at 475 degrees for 12 minutes or until lightly browned. Spoon remaining peaches over baked pastry square.
• Roll remaining pastry to 1/8 inch thickness, and cut into 1 inch strips; arrange in a lattice design over peaches. Bake 15 to 18 more minutes or until browned. Serve with vanilla ice cream.

THE BEST PEACH COBBLER / DOUBLE CRUST

Steps:

• 1. Make the crust and chill for 30 minutes. Sift the flour, salt, and sugar.
• 2. Add flour mixture to food processor; add the shortening, pulse about 6 times. Add the cold butter, pulse 5 - 6 times. The mixture should look like gravel.
• 3. Then add the water, a little at a time.
• 4. Pulse until a ball forms.
• 5. Cut dough in half. Wrap each half in plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
• 6. Filling: Melt butter in a med-large saucepan over medium heat. Add the sugar and water and cook until sugar is dissolved. Add nutmeg, salt, peaches, cinnamon, and flour.
• 7. Cook for 5 minutes or until thickened. Set aside to cool.
• 8. Assemble: Preheat oven to 375 degree F. Spray a 9 x 13 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
• 9. Once the dough is chilled, remove it from the refrigerator and roll each disk into a 9-inch square approximately 1/4-inch thick. Place into a 9 x 13 sprayed baking dish. I used my fingers to press into place. Bring up on the sides of the dish about an inch.
• 10. Pour the cooled filling into the crust.
• 11. Roll out the top crust; place over the filling (I roll the dough onto my rolling pin, then roll onto filling). It does not have to be perfect. I cut 4 - 6 slits to vent. I brush the top with heavy cream and sprinkle it with sugar but this is optional.
• 12. Bake until the crust is golden brown and the juices are bubbly (about 45 minutes). Let cool for at least 30 minutes before cutting and serving.
• 13. Enjoy! This is also great served with a scoop of ice cream.
