Note from Erin

This recipe came from a reader request! They were looking for a quick, easy peach cobbler with a pie-crust top like their grandmother used to make.

This one can be made in the summer with fresh peaches, or in the middle of winter with frozen peaches, and both ways is absolutely delicious!

Ingredients and Substitutions

The recipe card at the bottom of this post includes the complete list of ingredients, measurements, and instructions.

Ingredients for peach cobbler arranged neatly on a counter, including sliced peaches, spices, sugar, lemon juice, butter, egg, and pie crust with labels.

Peaches - If you're using frozen peaches, you don't need to thaw them. For fresh peaches, look for ones that are firm yet ripe, giving slightly when pressed. Canned peaches in 100% juice will also work. Drain them well and pat them dry before adding to the filling.

Cornstarch - Too much cornstarch will make the filling overly thick, while too little will make it runny. For this recipe, I've found that 2 tablespoons of cornstarch is the perfect amount for fresh peaches, and 3 tablespoons works best for frozen peaches.

Pie Dough - For the easiest preparation, use store-bought pie crust. Or make your own homemade pie dough for an extra-tender, buttery crust.

How to Make Peach Cobbler with Pie Crust

Mix Filling

Stir the peaches and filling ingredients until the cornstarch is no longer visible and the cinnamon is evenly distributed, then transfer the peach filling to your prepared baking dish.

Top with Butter

Slice the butter thinly and scatter it over the peaches so it melts evenly into the filling for a silky, rich sauce. If you prefer the peaches to taste brighter, you can skip the butter.

Add Pie Crust

Since this is an easy recipe, I like to use a "cheat lattice crust" by laying pie dough strips on the cobbler at a slant in one direction, then placing another set directly on top in the opposite direction.
Keep the pie crust cold and work quickly once you start adding it.
Steam needs a way to escape, so if you are using a full pie crust topping, make sure you cut several slits in the dough.

Brush with Egg Wash and Bake

Bake until the crust is deeply golden, and the filling is actively bubbling in the center, not just around the edges. If the top browns too quickly before the filling bubbles, tent loosely with foil and continue baking.
Let the cobbler sit for 10 minutes before serving.
Top individual portions with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Make It Special✨

Use cookie cutters to cut the pie crust dough into shapes. Lay them across the filling as a decorative topping and bake according to recipe directions.
