You have NO idea how long I've been looking for this recipe! My husband's grandma made a cobbler such as this, with a crust in the middle. He's been asking me for it for many years. I told him it must just be the way she made it, with no special name. This is more than wonderful. Thank you so very much for sharing this. Hubby's so happy and likewise for me. Now I don't think he's making this up!LOL

This was the very best, it was so delicious. I substituted Grand Marnier for the Peach Brandy and "WOW"!! Everyone loved it. I also used frozen pie crust (thawed) which saved a lot of time and worked very well. Linda
