Peach Cobbler
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 Tbsp. sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
6 Tbsp. chilled stick margarine, cut into 6 pieces
6 Tbsp. ice water
Vegetable cooking spray
6 cups sliced peeled peaches
(3-3/4 pounds) |
3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar, divided
2 1/2 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
1 Tbsp. vanilla extract
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 cup slivered almonds
1 egg
1 tsp. water
1 Tbsp. sugar |
Place the first 3 ingredients in a food processor, and
pulse 2 to 3 times. Add margarine pieces, and pulse 10 times or until the
mixture resembles coarse meal. With the processor on, slowly add ice water
through food chute, processing just until combined (do not form a ball).
Gently press the flour mixture into a 4 inch circle on heavy-duty plastic
wrap, and cover with additional plastic wrap. Roll the dough, still covered,
into a 15 x 13 inch rectangle. Place dough in freezer 5 minutes or until
plastic wrap can be easily removed.
Remove 1 sheet of plastic wrap. Fit dough into a 2 quart
baking dish coated with cooking spray, allowing dough to extend over edges
of dish; remove top sheet of plastic wrap. Combine peaches, 1/2 cup of
brown sugar, 2-1/2 tablespoons flour, vanilla, and cinnamon in a large
bowl; toss gently. Spoon peach mixture into prepared dish; fold edges of
dough over peach mixture (it will only partially cover peaches). Sprinkle
remaining 1/4 cup brown sugar over peach mixture; sprinkle with almonds.
Combine egg and water in a small bowl; stir well. Brush egg mixture over
dough, and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon sugar. Bake at 375 degrees F. for
45 minutes or until filling is bubbly and crust is lightly browned. Let
stand 30 minutes before serving.
Yield: 10 servings.
