  • 1 stickbutter (unsalted cold)
  • ¼ cupboiling hot water (see notes)
  • ½ teaspoonsalt
  • 3 tablespoonsgranulated sugar (to dust top of cobbler)

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 375 degrees

  2. 2

    Spray a 9x13 baking dish with non-stick spray. In the same dish, add the frozen peaches, white and brown sugars, vanilla and almond extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, corn starch, cream of tartar, butter, water, and lemon juice.

  3. 3

    Mix the peaches together with the ingredients until everything is fully combined. Cover the dish with foil and cook the mixture in the oven for 20 minutes.

  4. 4

    While peaches are cooking, combine the all purpose flour, both white and brown sugars, baking powder, salt, and 1/2 tablespoon of the cinnamon.

  5. 5

    Work the cold stick of butter into the flour mixture by breaking it up with a pastry cutter or with your hands. Work it in until it looks like coarse meal or crumbles.

  6. 6

    Add the hot water and stir together with a spoon until it's just combined. The cobbler should have a drop biscuit-like texture.

  7. 7

    Remove the peaches from the oven and spoon cobbler dough mixture over the peaches. Make each dough droplet about the size of a golf ball leaving a tiny bit of space between each one (see photo and notes below) to ensure they cook through.

  8. 8

    Peaches will not be fully covered. Combine sugar and and remaining 1/2 tablespoon cinnamon and sprinkle the mixture over dough.

  9. 9

    Place the dish back in the oven uncovered and cook for an additional 30-45 minutes, until crust is golden brown. Check on it after 30 minutes for doneness and remove it once the cobbler crust is golden brown and delicious. And enjoy!
