Grandma’s Peach Cobbler Pie

Grandma’s Peach Cobbler Pie is the perfect blend of two classics — the rich, buttery goodness of a cobbler and the flaky crust of a homemade pie. Juicy peaches simmered with cinnamon, sugar, and vanilla are baked inside a tender crust and topped with a golden cobbler-style batter. Warm, sweet, and comforting, this dessert tastes like pure nostalgia and is perfect with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

💡 Tips

• If using canned peaches, drain well and reduce the sugar by 2–3 tbsp.
• Add a pinch of ginger for extra warmth.
• For extra crisp topping, sprinkle coarse sugar before baking.
• Let the pie rest 15 minutes before slicing—it thickens as it cools.
