Instructions:
Step 1: Preparing the Pastry Strips
In this first step, we’ll prepare the pastry strips that will add layers of flakiness to our Triple Crust Peach Cobbler.
- Heat your oven to 350°F.
- Stir together 1 package of Betty Crocker™ pie crust mix and 1/3 cup of cold water until the mixture forms a ball.
- Flatten the dough into a rectangle, approximately 11×8 inches in size.
- Cut the dough into 4 strips, each measuring 11×2 inches.
- Place the strips on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake them for 18 minutes. Set them aside to cool.
Step 2: Preparing the Bottom Crust
Now, let’s create the bottom crust that will cradle the luscious peach filling.
- Stir together 1 package of Betty Crocker™ pie crust mix and 1/3 cup of cold water until the mixture forms a ball.
- Flatten the dough and roll it out to fit the bottom and sides of an ungreased rectangular baking dish, sized at 13x9x2 inches.
- Place the prepared crust in the baking dish and set it aside.
Step 3: Creating the Peach Filling
The heart of our Triple Crust Peach Cobbler is the delightful peach filling. Let’s make it!
- In a large bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups of sugar, 3/4 cup of melted butter or margarine, 2 teaspoons of ground nutmeg, 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon, 2 teaspoons of vanilla, 2 teaspoons of lemon extract, and the undrained sliced peaches from the two cans.
- Stir this sweet concoction until all the ingredients are well mixed.
Step 4: Assembling the Cobbler
With all the components ready, it’s time to assemble our Triple Crust Peach Cobbler.
- Pour half of the peach mixture into the prepared baking dish with the bottom crust.
- Arrange the 4 pastry strips from Step 1 on top of the peach mixture.
- Pour the remaining half of the peach mixture over the pastry strips.
- Now, it’s time to create the top crust. Stir together 1 package of Betty Crocker™ pie crust mix and the remaining 1/3 cup of cold water until the mixture forms a ball.
- Flatten the ball and roll it to fit on top of the peach mixture in the baking dish.
- Cut several holes or slits in the crust to allow steam to escape.
- Place the crust on top of the mixture in the baking dish and seal it to the edges of the dish.
Step 5: Baking to Perfection
The final step is to bake our Triple Crust Peach Cobbler until it reaches a glorious golden brown.
- Bake the cobbler at 350°F for about 1 hour or until the crust is beautifully golden brown.
- Once done, let it cool slightly before serving.
