Ingredients
Scale
- 2 (29 oz / 822 g) cans sliced peaches in juice
- ¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
- Preheat: Calibrate oven to 350°F with center rack positioned for optimal heat circulation.
- Peach Preparation: Cascade canned peaches with their luscious syrup into a 9×13-inch baking vessel, creating an inviting fruit landscape.
- Crumble Construction: In a mixing bowl, amalgamate flour, sugar, and butter using fingertips to craft a textural breadcrumb-like mixture with delicate, sandy consistency.
- Topping Application: Generously disperse the crumbly ensemble across the peach terrain, ensuring complete and seamless coverage for a harmonious flavor profile.
- Nutty Enhancement: Artfully scatter pecans over the crumble, allowing them to nestle and integrate, providing delightful crunch and rustic character.
- Baking Transformation: Slide the cobbler into the heated oven, allowing 50-55 minutes of culinary alchemy where the surface caramelizes to a rich golden-brown and the fruit filling becomes tantalizingly bubbly.
- Resting Phase: Extract from oven and grant the cobbler a 15-20 minute respite, permitting flavors to converge and filling to stabilize before presenting this delectable dessert.
Notes
- Optimize Crumble Texture: Use cold butter and work quickly with fingertips to create a flaky, crisp topping that doesn’t become dense or tough.
- Prevent Soggy Bottom: Pat canned peaches dry to reduce excess liquid and avoid a watery cobbler base that can compromise the dessert’s structural integrity.
- Enhance Nutty Depth: Toast pecans briefly before adding to intensify their rich, warm flavor and provide a more complex crunch to the dessert.
- Serving Pro Tip: Pair warm cobbler with vanilla ice cream or freshly whipped cream to balance the sweet peach filling and create a harmonious dessert experience.
