List of Ingredients
About 8 cups sliced fresh peaches
2 cups sugar
2-4 Tbs flour
1/2 tsp groung nutmeg
1 tsp almond or vanilla extract (**ALMOND truly makes it the best)
1/3 cup butter
Any pastry for a double-crust pie
Recipe
Combine first 4 ingredients in a Dutch oven; set aside until syrup forms. Bring peach mixture to a boil, reduce to low, and cook 10 minutes or until tender. Rmove from heat; add extract & butter, stirring until butter melts.
Roll half of pastry to 1/8" thickness on lightly floured surfact & cut into an 8" square. Spoon half of peached into a lightly buttered 8" square baking dish; top w/pastry square. Bake at 425 for 14 minutes or until lightly browned. Spoon remaining peaches over baked pastry square. Roll out remaining pastry & cut into 1" strips to arrange in lattice design over peaches. Continue to bake for 15-18 minutes or until browned.
Marvelous! I've never used frozen peaches since this is synonymous with "southern summertime" for me & fresh peaches are always available! Also, I've never used vanilla extract as almond extract adds a subtle key flavor that I don't think vanilla could surpass.
This is a wonderful recipe. Have been making nearly the same one for years. Only I usually go ahead and bake the center square ( or we really like strips of pastry) until lightly brown and then add inbetween the layers of peaches. Then either lattice the top or do the solid with vents. Also sprinkle a little sugar on the top.. Soooo good.
Going to have that this weekend. Have been saving my last frozen peaches from last summer just for this.
Adding the crust in between the layers of a blackberry cobbler is also out of this world. :)
