I made Bernardin Peach Pie Filling in my prior post. Of course, I had to make a dessert. I love cobbler so I cobbled one together.
I started by preheating my oven to 425 F.
Then I put the pie filling in a greased casserole dish. You can use the recipe from my prior post or you can buy commercial peach pie filling.
I used my home canned pie filling and you need to add some cornstarch to the filling. You can skip this if you are using commercial pie filling.
Then I mixed the sugar, baking power and salt together in a bowl. I put the cold butter in and used a pastry blender to cut the butter in until it was about the texture of oatmeal. I added the water and mixed it in lightly to form a crumbly dough.
I crumbled that dough over the surface of the pie filling.
I mixed the cinnamon and brown sugar and sprinkled that over the dough.
I baked it until the top was browned and cooked, about 30 minutes.
The Verdict
I always thought the reason I liked cobblers was they were so easy. However, I was wrong. It is the great fruit taste topped by a crispy coated biscuit layer. Sigh. I wish I had some left.
