How To Make peach cobbler

  • 1
    Preheat oven to 375ºF. In a large bowl, combine peaches, peach schnapps, brown sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, cinnamon and nutmeg; stir to coat and set aside.
  • 2
    In a medium bowl, add flour, baking powder, sugar and salt; whisk until mixed. Add ¾ cup butter and with a dough blender, cut butter in until mixture is crumbly; set aside.
  • 3
    In a large saucepan over medium-low heat, add the remaining 2 tbsp. butter and when melted, add peach mixture. Stir well and simmer gently for 5 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a 2-quart casserole.
  • 4
    Pour in ½ cup heavy cream in the dough and stir just enough so the liquid is absorbed – don’t overdo it. Spoon dough over the peach mixture and gently spread it out with a spatula. Pour 2 tbsp. heavy cream over and brush on evenly.

    In a small bowl, combine sugar and ground cinnamon; sprinkle over the cobbler. Place small pieces of butter all over the top. Place casserole on a baking sheet in case it overflows and transfer to the preheated oven; bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until the fruit is bubbling and the top is nice and golden brown.
