Southern Double Crust Peach Cobber
"I live and grew up in the midwest and never had a clue that other people didn't use a top and bottom cobbler crust until I was grown. This crust is kneaded in order to have a true cobbler texture which is a bit tougher texture than a cake or pie dough.Cobbler may be frozen before baking. I have edited this recipe after a review brought my attenntion to a typo I made in posting. Sugar amount has been corrected."

Now this is what a cobbler should be. Not that fluffy, doughy, biscuit type most recipes are. Serve with vanilla ice cream on top and you'll swear you saw Heaven! -
This is peach pie, more like a deep dish peach pie. Cobblers are traditionally with a biscut type topping which is spooned on the top in dallops and then baked. -
This sounds more like a pie. Is this another of those regional terminologies (I moved to the southeast so I have come across many things that aren't what I thought they were by the name given *grin*) where a "cobbler" is a pie? Or am I just not reading the recipe correctly? -
Didn't care for this. I didn't like the peaches cooked down so much, there was too much sugar, and the crust wasn't as good as the regular batters that you put on the bottom and they rise up over the top. Sorry, but I will stick with my old recipe. -
I have made this twice and everyone went crazy...just like Granny used to make...doubled the pastry and made really big cobblers...thanks again...

I'll start by saying most of my recipies are rich and not made for dieting,although a very few are healthy by nature!
I live in Oklahoma and was raised on a farm. We ate what we raised and grew. Our trips to town were bi-monthly but my Mother was creative and made do with what we had such as cattle,pork,poultry,fruit,grain,
milk,eggs and garden veggies.
I have collected cookbooks for years and love to take different combinations of other recipes and combine them to make my own. My favorite cookbooks are those from small country churches from old fashion cooks.
My favorite time of year is Christmas and I start about 3 weeks before making homemade candy.
