Ingredients

For the Pie Crust

1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust (homemade or refrigerated)

For the Peach Filling

6 cups fresh peaches (about 7–8 medium peaches), peeled and sliced
¾ cup granulated sugar
¼ cup light brown sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

For the Cobbler Topping

1 cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup granulated sugar
¼ cup light brown sugar
1½ teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cubed
⅓ cup whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional Topping

Coarse sugar for sprinkling
Vanilla ice cream
Fresh whipped cream
Caramel sauce

Equipment

9-inch pie dish
Large mixing bowls
Pastry cutter or fork
Rolling pin (if using homemade crust)
Baking sheet
Cooling rack

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Place the pie dish on a baking sheet to catch any bubbling juices during baking.

Step 2: Make the Peach Filling

In a large bowl, combine:

Sliced peaches
Granulated sugar
Brown sugar
Cornstarch
Cinnamon
Nutmeg
Salt
Lemon juice
Vanilla extract

Gently toss until the peaches are evenly coated.

Let the mixture rest for 10 minutes so the peaches release some of their juices.

Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust.

Dot the top with the small pieces of butter.

Step 3: Prepare the Cobbler Topping

In another bowl, whisk together:

Flour
Granulated sugar
Brown sugar
Baking powder
Salt
Cinnamon

Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Stir in the milk and vanilla just until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.

Drop spoonfuls of the dough over the peach filling, leaving a few gaps for steam to escape.

Sprinkle with coarse sugar, if desired.

Step 4: Bake

Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until:

The topping is golden brown.
The peach filling is bubbling around the edges.
The crust is lightly browned.

If the crust begins to brown too quickly, cover the edges loosely with aluminum foil during the last 20 minutes of baking.

Step 5: Cool and Serve

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 1 hour.

This allows the filling to thicken for cleaner slices.

Serve warm or at room temperature with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Tips for the Best Peach Cobbler Pie

Use ripe but firm peaches for the best flavor and texture.
Fresh peaches are ideal, but frozen peaches (thawed and drained) work well too.
Let the pie cool before slicing so the filling has time to set.
Don’t overmix the cobbler topping—it should remain tender and light.
Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips.

Flavor Variations

Bourbon Peach Cobbler Pie

Stir 2 tablespoons bourbon into the peach filling for a rich, caramel-like depth of flavor.

Berry Peach Cobbler Pie

Add 1 cup fresh blueberries or raspberries to the peach filling.

Pecan Cobbler Pie

Mix ½ cup chopped toasted pecans into the cobbler topping for extra crunch.

Cinnamon Streusel Version

Replace the cobbler topping with a buttery cinnamon streusel for a crisp, crumbly finish.

Ginger Peach Pie

Add ½ teaspoon ground ginger to the filling for a warm, spicy twist.
