How to Make It

Follow these simple steps to create your Triple Crust Peach Cobbler.

Preheat oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a deep 9×13-inch baking dish or a large cast iron skillet.

Prepare peach filling

In a large mixing bowl, combine sliced peaches, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, and lemon juice. Toss until the peaches are coated and the mixture looks syrupy.

First crust layer

Roll out one pie crust to fit the bottom of your baking dish. Press it down gently. Brush lightly with melted butter.

Add peaches

Spoon half of the peach mixture over the bottom crust. Scatter a few cubes of butter over the fruit.

Second crust layer

Roll out the second pie crust and place it over the peach layer. It doesn’t need to be perfect — rustic edges add charm. Brush with butter and sprinkle lightly with sugar.

Top layer of peaches

Add the remaining peaches on top of the second crust, again dotting with butter cubes.

Final crust topping

Place the third crust on top. Cut small slits or decorative shapes to allow steam to escape. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with sugar for a golden finish.

Bake

Bake uncovered for 50–55 minutes, or until the crust is deeply golden brown and the filling is bubbling through the edges.

Cool and serve

Let the cobbler rest for about 15 minutes before serving. This allows the filling to thicken. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

How to Store It

Fridge: Keep for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
Freezer: Yes, freeze for up to 3 months in a sealed container.
Reheat: Warm in the oven at 350°F for 15–20 minutes.

Tips for Best Results

• Ensure peaches are ripe for the best flavor and sweetness.
• Allow resting time post-baking for a thicker filling.
• For a crispy top, increase the baking time slightly if needed.
• Brush crust with butter just before the end of baking for a golden finish.

Serving Suggestions

• Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a classic pairing.
• Enjoy it warm at summer barbeques for fresh flavor.
• Top with whipped cream for an added indulgence.
