A wonderfully tangy peach cobbler that I found in a supplement to the Sunday newspaper years ago. I don't think I've ever served it to anyone who hasn't liked it. The filling is also great for a pie. For a really decadent dessert, serve this with a scoop of Blue Bell Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream! YUM!! The preparation time is approximate since I've never timed it. The cook time includes chill time for the dough. Ingredients:
6 -8 cups sliced peaches, fresh or frozen (thawed) |
1/4 cup lemon juice |
3/4 cup orange juice |
2 cups granulated sugar |
1 teaspoon cinnamon |
1 teaspoon nutmeg |
1 tablespoon cornstarch |
1/2 cup margarine or 1/2 cup butter |
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour |
3 tablespoons granulated sugar |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 cup shortening (i use crisco butter-flavored sticks) |
1 egg |
1/4 cup ice water |
Directions:
1. Combine peaches, lemon juice and orange juice.
2. In a separate bowl, mix sugar, spices and cornstarch.
3. Heat peaches, juices and butter in a saucepan over medium heat until butter is melted.
4. Mix in dry ingredients; remove from heat and set aside while you prepare crust.
5. Sift flour, sugar and salt together.
6. Add shortening and mix until crumbly.
7. Whip egg and water together, then sprinkle onto flour mixture.
8. Mix just until dough forms.
9. Chill for 30 minutes.
10. Roll out 1/2 of dough and put in bottom and 1/2 up the sides of a 9 x 13 baking dish.
