Ingredients

  • 4 cups fresh peaches, sliced
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter (one stick)
  • 1 dash nutmeg
  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup shortening (I use butter-flavored Crisco)
  • 1/4 cup cold water

Method

  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • Combine peaches, butter, sugar and nutmeg in a saucepan. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat. Simmer until peaches are tender and mixture starts to thicken, about 20 minutes. Pour into baking dish.
  • Combine flour, shortening, and salt, and mix with a pastry cutter. Add just enough cold water to make a crust, and roll out to fit the cobbler.
  • Lay the crust over the peaches and make several slashes with a sharp knife.
  • Bake 35-45 minutes, or until the crust just looks done.
