- 1 cup granulated sugar, divided
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 4 cups fresh peach slices (or canned peaches, well-drained)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven:Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare the Peach Filling:In a large mixing bowl, combine the peach slices, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract. Stir until the peaches are evenly coated.
- Arrange the Crescent Dough:Lightly grease a baking dish. Unroll the crescent dough and press the pieces into the bottom of the dish, slightly overlapping to form a base layer.
- Add the Peach Mixture:Spread the peach mixture evenly over the crescent dough. Drizzle the melted butter on top and sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup of granulated sugar.
- Bake the Cobbler:Place the dish in the oven and bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Serve: Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving. Enjoy it warm, optionally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
Tips & Variations
- Fresh is Best: If possible, use fresh, ripe peaches for the most natural sweetness and flavor. If using canned, be sure to drain them thoroughly to avoid excess liquid.
- Add a Kick: A splash of bourbon or dark rum in the peach filling adds a rich, aromatic depth.
- Make it Your Own: Add chopped pecans for a crunchy topping or sprinkle oats for a more rustic finish.
