| Yield: | 1 9×13-inch dish |
Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons white sugar, divided
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup shortening
- 1 large egg
- ¼ cup cold water
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- 3 pounds fresh peaches – peeled, pitted, and sliced
- ¾ cup orange juice
- ¼ cup lemon juice
- ½ cup butter
- 2 cups white sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
Instructions
- Make crust: Sift together flour, 3 tablespoons sugar, and salt in a medium bowl. Work in shortening with a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Whisk together egg and cold water in a small bowl. Sprinkle over flour mixture; work with hands to form dough into a ball. Wrap with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Roll out 1/2 of the chilled dough to 1/8-inch thickness. Place in a 9×13-inch baking dish, covering the bottom and halfway up the sides.
- Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes.
- Make filling: Mix peaches, orange juice, and lemon juice in a large saucepan. Add butter and cook over medium-low heat until butter is melted. Stir together sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a bowl; mix into peach mixture until combined. Pour into baked crust.
- Roll remaining dough to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut into 1/2-inch-wide strips. Weave strips into a lattice over peaches. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon sugar, then drizzle with melted butter.
- Bake in the preheated oven until top crust is golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes.

Reviews
I cheated and used ready-made pie crust, just rolled it out so would fit my 9×13 pan; this recipe has become a family favorite!
It was delicious. I used canned peaches in syrup and reduced the sugar. I also added more butter on the crust. Otherwise it turned out beautifully. Thank you for the recipe!
This is a wonderful dessert to take to a outing, social, holiday gathering. I will not use another recipe nor change a thing as far as ingredients. Compliments galore!! So good! This recipe takes me back to the days of grandmother’s, Aunts who made everything from scratch!
This was easy especially if you buy the premade crust – the only thing left to do is just the filling and it’s done. It tasted so good. 🙂
It was awesome. Every one who got loved it!!!!!
Don’t like peach pie, said I wouldn’t eat it. I made the recipe and I’m a Believer. Just one tweak. I use one cup of white sugar and 1 cup of brown. I fed it to everyone that would try my first attempt. They’ve already asked me to make it for Thanksgiving.
I did not add the orange juice…it smells and looks delicious!
The crust is a little bit of work but worth it, I will use this crust again for other recipes. I have made this several times and everytime I make it for parties people ask for the recipe. There is never leftovers! The only change I made was increasing the cornstarch to 2T. This is a good old fashioned cobbler like my grandmother from KY used to make.
Couple of changes, like omitted the nutmeg because I don’t like it. Also omitted the thickening for the peaches because I prefer a juicy filling. Also used mango juice instead of orange juice. I like the homemade crust because that’s what my mother did. Brings back memories of her.
great but should increase dough recipe. wasnt enough!
Everybody enjoyed it.
I love the recipe!!! I really use it for the crust and I don’t use the orange juice. I also add more cinnamon, nutmeg I also add a touch of allspice. The crust is absolutely the best!! I add cinnamon to the dusting you put on top. Today will be my first time adding the melted butter to the top, I’ve made this several times never noticed that part
It is easy to make I have in the oven now. I love this recipe. I am also a PSW. Hoping my client enjoys this tomorrow.
I liked the recipe; however, next time I would reduce the sugar by one-half. I like that it has lemon and orange juices in the recipe.
The cobbler is in the oven baking. This was not an easy recipe for sure. It’s time consuming. I didn’t have lemon or orange juice so I used what I had on hand, Body Armor Orange Mango (the flavor of the sauce was good). Also after reading some reviews I used a slotted spoon and laid the peaches in the baked crust then added some liquid. I’ll update my review after tasting the finished cobbler.
I love this recipe simple and easy
The recipe was great never made a cobbler before. And I love peach cobbler.
Easy and so good!!!
Tasted very good. I used more than half the dough for the bottom layer so I didn’t have as much for the lattice crust on top. Aesthetically, that could have been better. Also, this tasted even better more than a day after I made it. I would make it again for sure.
The only change I made was that I didn’t have any orange juice, but, I did have some peach juice cocktail, so replaced the orange juice with that.
Made exactly as written…. Everyone loved it! Thanks for a great recipe !
