DREAM PEACH COBBLER 
Crust:

2 sticks butter
2 cups all purpose flour, sifted
4-5 tablespoons ice water

Filling:

2 cups light brown sugar
2 large cans peaches, with syrup (29 oz.)
1/3 cup flour
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 stick butter
2 tablespoons vanilla (preferably Mexican)

For crust, cut cold butter into small cubes, place in medium size mixing bowl. Add flour to butter. Work with pastry blender until it resembles coarse cornmeal (a few lumps of butter add to the flakiness of the pastry). Sprinkle with ice water. Mix and gather into a ball. Dust lightly with flour, flatten ball slightly and wrap in plastic.

Chill for 30 minutes. Roll out pastry and line a 9 x 13" dish. There is enough pastry for a layer on top and bottom, or one thick layer on top works too. Alternately, pre-made pie crust may used.

For the filling, mix flour and brown sugar together in large saucepan.

Preheat oven to 400°F.

On medium heat, add remaining ingredients, mix well and bring just to a boil. Pour into 9 x 13" dish, crimp pastry edges and cut 3-4 air vents.

Bake for 50-60 minutes until crust is brown and peaches are bubbly.

I tested peach cobbler recipes for years, and this one came to me in a dream. It is sweet and sticky, with a flaky crust that will draw raves from your family or guests. This sinful recipe is definitely worth the little extra time it takes to prepare. Vanilla ice cream on top is a nice touch, although this cobbler stands very well on its own.

This is the very first peach cobbler that I have ever baked and it has a wholesome look and the recipe describes the cobbler in great detail. And for a special touch sift with powder sugar.

I have looked everywhere for this type of peach cobbler recipe and had no luck finding it. I wanted one with a pie crust topping instead of a batter topping....Thank you so much I can't wait to try it!

I've made this recipe at least 10 times in the last 2 years. I love it and at least one person wants the recipe every time I make it. Sprinkle cinnamon on top and serve with vanilla ice cream if u like.

This recipe is delicious! Made this for my mom and she loved every bit of it! I also added cinnamon to my mix, because in my opinion, peaches are always better with cinnamon.

I altered slightly by adding a full stick of butter to filling plus a tablespoon of cinnamon. Easy and delicious. Easy recipe to follow.
