Ingredients

FRUIT MIX

  • 8 large fresh peaches (about 5 cups), peeled, pitted and sliced
  • 1/4 cup Peach Schnapps liqueur
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 tbsp. freshly squeezed lemon juice tips & tricks
  • 1 tbsp. cornstarch
  • 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
  • 2 tbsp. unsalted butter

DOUGH

  • 1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp. ground Himalayan pink salt
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, room temperature and cut into pieces
  • 1/2 cup 35% heavy cream, plus 2 tbsp. for brushing

TOPPING

  • 2 tbsp. granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cut into small pieces for top

Directions

FRUIT MIX

  • 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.
  • In a large saucepan over medium-low heat, add the 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.

DOUGH

  • In a medium bowl, add flour, baking powder, sugar and salt; whisk until mixed. Add ¾ cup butter and with a pastry dough blender, cut butter in until the mixture is crumbly; set aside.
  • Pour ½ cup heavy cream in the dough and stir just enough so the liquid is absorbed – don’t overdo it. Spoon the dough over the peach mixture and gently spread it out with a spatula. Pour 2 tbsp. heavy cream over and brush on evenly.
  • Sprinkle sugar-cinnamon topping over the cobbler before placing small pieces of butter all over the top (¼ cup).
  • Place the 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.
  • Remove from the heat and let it sit for 5 minutes before serving with vanilla ice cream.

TOPPING

  • In a small bowl, combine sugar and ground cinnamon.
