Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour and salt. Cut the cold, pure butter cubes into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 2: Using a pastry cutter or your hands, incorporate the butter into the flour. Slowly add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, gently combining until the dough comes together.
Step 3: Divide the dough into two equal portions, form them into discs, and wrap them in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).
Step 4: Combine the sliced peaches, sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and cornstarch in a large bowl. Toss the ingredients together gently to evenly coat the peaches.
Step 5: On a floured surface, roll out one of the chilled pie crust discs to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Place the pastry in the dish, trimming off any excess. Spoon the peach filling into the prepared pie crust.
Step 6: In a separate bowl, thoroughly combine the melted unsalted butter, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and milk. Spread the topping evenly over the peach filling in the pie dish.
Step 7: Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Allow Grandma’s Peach Cobbler Pie to cool slightly before serving. It’s best enjoyed warm.
Step 8: Each slice of this delightful pie is a trip down memory lane. Enhance the experience by serving it with a dollop of vanilla ice cream, adding an extra layer of indulgence to this time-honored delicacy.
So, gather your loved ones and create new memories with Grandma’s Peach Cobbler Pie – a dessert that brings generations together in a symphony of flavors and love.
