Description
Patti Labelle’s Peach Cobbler is a warm Southern-style dessert made with spiced peaches, orange zest, buttery crust layers, and a golden cinnamon top.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 stick unsalted butter, divided
- 2 ready-made pie crusts
- 1 cup all-purpose flour, for dusting the work surface
- 3 tablespoons agave syrup
- 1 1/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon, plus more for sprinkling
- 3/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 4 cans sliced peaches, 29 ounces each, drained
- 2 pinches kosher salt
- 1 orange, zested
- 2 large eggs, whisked
- Vanilla ice cream, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 13×9-inch baking pan with 1/2 stick, or 4 tablespoons, of the butter. Set aside.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pie crusts until they are large enough to cover the baking pan surface.
- In a large skillet, melt the remaining 1/2 stick, or 4 tablespoons, butter over medium heat. Mix in agave syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, and peaches. Add 2 pinches of kosher salt and mix well.
- Once the mixture begins to simmer, reduce the heat to low and continue cooking for 10 minutes. Remove the mixture from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
- Pour half of the peach mixture into the prepared baking pan in an even layer. Grate half of the orange zest over the peaches.
- Place the first sheet of pie crust on top. Bake for 15 minutes, or until light brown.
- Take the cobbler out of the oven. Pour the remaining peach mixture on top and grate the remaining orange zest over the peaches.
- Place the second pie crust on top, brush with a thin layer of egg wash, and sprinkle with cinnamon.
- With a fork, poke holes across the top layer to help steam escape and support even baking.
- Bake for 40 minutes, or until the peach juices start to bubble and the top crust turns golden brown.
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.
Notes
- Drain the peaches well so the filling does not turn watery.
- Let the cobbler rest for about 10 minutes before serving so the juices can settle.
- Reheat leftovers in a 325 degrees F oven for the best crust texture.
