Happy Black Woman Cooks: The Best Peach Cobbler Ever

My mom is the bestest. For our last cookout of the summer, she made BBQ ribs, collard greens, baked beans, and oh yes, even Patti LaBelle’s macaroni and cheese! I’m still full. Since my sister and cousin were over, they bugged me to make my infamous peach cobbler. I hadn’t had a pie in a while, so I let them twist my arm and talk me into it!

Here’s the recipe. I had two big bowls. I know, #greedy. Peach cobbler is a hell of a drug. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Warm Peach Cobbler and Vanilla Bean Ice Cream

Ingredients

• 3 – 29 ounce cans of freestone peaches
• 1 cup of raw sugar (I use Sugar in the Raw)
• 1/2 stick of butter
• 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon
• 3 tablespoons of flour
• 2 boxes of Betty Crocker Pie Crust Mix, 11 oz (I know it’s cheating, but it’s quicker and tastes just like homemade crust!)
• your favorite brand of vanilla bean ice cream

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Pour the peaches in a large saucepan with all the juices. Add the sugar, butter, and cinnamon. Simmer for 20 minutes and taste for sweetness. Add the flour and cook down for another 10 minutes. Let the peach mixture cool.

In the meantime, follow the directions on the box for the pie crusts. You will need both boxes for a 13 x 9 pan of peach cobbler. Butter a 13 x 9 pan  and place the bottom crust inside, making sure any overlapping crust is tucked inside the pan. Poke holes in the bottom of the crust with a fork. Bake the bottom crust for 1o minutes until slightly golden. Take the pan out of the oven, then pour the peach mixture into the pan. Cover the rest of the cobbler with the top crust. Poke holes in the top of the cobbler with a fork to let steam escape while baking. Bake for 40-50 minutes or until crust is golden brown.

Serve warm with vanilla bean ice cream on top! Makes 6-8 servings. (As you can see below, this one didn’t last very long!)
