Southern Double Crust Peach Cobber

I live and grew up in the midwest and never had a clue that other people didn't use a top and bottom cobbler crust until I was grown. This crust is kneaded in order to have a true cobbler texture which is a bit tougher texture than a cake or pie dough.Cobbler may be frozen before baking. I have edited this recipe after a review brought my attenntion to a typo I made in posting. Sugar amount has been corrected. Show more
