Kitchen Equipment You’ll Need

• Oven
• Rolling pin
• Rectangular baking dish (13x9x2 inches)
• Cookie sheet
• Mixing bowl

Ingredients

• 3 packages (11 ounces each) Betty Crocker™ pie crust mix
• 1 cup of cold water
• 1 1/2 cups sugar
• 3/4 cup butter or margarine, melted
• 2 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 teaspoons lemon extract
• 2 cans (29 ounces each) sliced peaches in syrup, undrained

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350ºF (175ºC).
2. In a mixing bowl, combine 1 package of pie crust mix with 1/3 cup of cold water until the mixture forms a ball. Flatten the ball and roll it into a rectangle measuring 11×8 inches. Cut this into four strips, each 11×2 inches. Place the strips on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 18 minutes. Set aside.
3. Repeat the process with another package of pie crust mix and 1/3 cup of cold water, but this time roll it out to fit the bottom and sides of an ungreased rectangular baking dish, 13x9x2 inches. Place it in the dish and set aside.
4. In a separate bowl, mix the sugar, melted butter, nutmeg, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and lemon extract. Stir in the undrained peaches.
5. Pour half of the peach mixture over the crust in the baking dish. Layer with two of the baked crust strips, then add the remaining peach mixture on top.
6. Roll out the last package of pie crust mix with 1/3 cup cold water and cut into strips. Place these strips over the top in a lattice pattern.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.

Tips for Success

• Ensure your pie crust dough is cold before rolling it out for easier handling.
• For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of ground ginger to the spice mix.
• Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving to allow the filling to set.

Variations

• For a different fruit flavor, substitute canned peaches with canned apricots or a mix of berries.
• If you prefer a less sweet dessert, reduce the sugar by 1/4 cup.
