My Nana was such a great cook and I didn’t even give it a second thought growing up – these days I sure wish I had paid more attention to what she did. She made a wonderful cobbler. Blackberry, blueberry, cherry, apple and peach. Her cobbler crust was not exactly like pie crust and it also wasn’t like a cake mix or biscuit either. It was sweet but it was also a bit chewy and there were pieces inside the with the fruit too. I used to watch her make it but I never paid that much attention so I had no idea how she made up her “insides”. For that, I went straight to my friend Carla’s blog Chocolate Moosey. I saw her great recipe for Peach Pie filling just the other day so I decided to use that:
Peach Cobbler
1 Cup water
1 Cup sugar
¼ Cup cornstarch
1 tablespoon lemon juice
3 Cups peaches peeled and chopped
¼ teaspoon vanilla
1 Pillsbury thin Pizza Crust
Non stick spray and a pan – I used a Pyrex rectangular pan
Directions:
Put the water, sugar, cornstarch and lemon juice in a pot, bring to a boil then take off stove.
Stir in the vanilla and then the peaches. I put them back on the stove and stirred occasionally while I put the dough in the dish.
With my fingers, I pulled the pizza dough and stretched it out pretty far and then I used a pizza cutter to slice it in half.
I put one piece one way and the other piece on the other like this:
Still there was enough to put the top on and pinch it together.
Using scissors, I trimmed the dough and cut holes in the top.
I also beat an egg and put in 1 tablespoon of water then brushed on top of crust and sprinkled sugar on top of that.
In a Pre-heated 400 F degree oven, I put the cobbler and baked it for 30 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
I suggest some ice cream to go along with it!
I am not terribly up on all things gluten free but if you used that gluten free pizza crust, would it be a gluten free cobbler? Anyone know? Enjoy!
That looks sooooo yummy and I love the idea of not slaving over a crust. It should be gluten free if you use the specific gluten free crust. Cornstarch does not contain gluten.
Yay then – huh? At least for those who cannot or do not want to eat gluten. Thanks!
love how that ice cream is melting into the cobbler! looks so good–all of it 🙂
Thank you ! I LOVE melt-y ice cream and that cobbler was HOT!
That is one top quality dessert my friend, it looks refreshing but very delicious 🙂

Thanks CCU! It was so good!
Kelli! I’m droooooling 🙂
you’re so fortunate to have had grandparents to help inspire this great recipe. Sadly, mine all passed away before I was born.
Looks divine!! Pinning 🙂
Thank you!!
Nothing better than cobbler and there are so many different homey ways to make it. I think my fave has to be a biscuit like topping. Molokai wonderful. Must have vanilla bean!!!!
Yum! This looks pretty delicious… and easy! Yay for premade crusts, right?
Cobbler is one of my favorite things to make because: no bottom crust! Sometimes I make a crumble and then you don’t need a crust at all. 🙂 I love that you used the pizza dough instead of a sweet dough here, Kelli. I’ll bet it set the sweet filling off perfectly.
Thanks Stacy – you know, I’m always trying something! 🙂
This looks really good Kelli! And I totally know what you mean about wishing more attention had been paid to how your grandma made things. I feel the same way. Especially with gravy. No one could touch my grandma’s gravy — and no one has since.

Isn’t gravy just the hardest?? My Nana was a gravy whiz too! : ) Thanks!
Your peach cobbler looks delicious Kelli! 🙂
I have never tried to make it myself but I have to admit it might not be too bad to prepare it one day! 🙂 Hope you are having a great week Kelli! 😉
Thanks Ingrid! I am exhausted – I’m so far behind on my reading. Something like 4 days! Moved the kids in and that boy is running me ragged – now I know how you feel only I’m 25 or so years older than you! 🙂
🙂 I know what you mean Kelli, they are exhausting these little ones, they will make you jump, run and play with them and they never seem to be exhausted ha!ha! at least you enjoyed some time with him 🙂
and same here, I’m so behind my e-mails (I haven’t had the chance to visit all the blogs I like reading) …
& my little one is very sick! we found out Sunday/Monday early morning that he has Fifth disease and he has not been eating well for the past week. We are going back to the hospital tomorrow at 5AM again for a blood test just to make sure is nothing too serious! ah! I hope you will be able to get some rest very soon! 🙂
I am not familiar with that- I will pray that it is something manageable! xoxo
Creative. 🙂 And yummy. I love peach cobbler!
Thanks Luv! I’m so behind on my reading right now – I’ve got to adjust to my much bigger family! 🙂
I love all cobblers, but especially peach! What an excellent shortcut with the pizza dough…it looks fantastic!!
This is a super creative recipe and it looks delicious!! I always have to have my fruit and pie desserts with a scoop of ice cream so I approve of that addition! Haha. Delicious!
This looks so good I’ve got too try it! Makes it even more tempting in that pretty dish.
Thank you! I found those at a yard sale – I love enamel bowls!
