 Bottom Crust (Layer 1)

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter (cut into cubes)
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 3–4 tablespoons ice-cold water

 Middle Layer (Layer 2 – Soft Batter)

 Top Crumble (Layer 3)

• 1/2 cup butter
• Pinch of salt
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

 Instructions (Step-by-Step)

 Step 1: Prepare the Peach Filling

1. In a large saucepan over medium heat:
   • Add sliced peaches, granulated sugar, and brown sugar.
   • Stir in lemon juice, cinnamon, ginger, and vanilla extract.
2. Cook for about 8–10 minutes, until the peaches soften and release their juices.
3. In a small bowl:
   • Mix cornstarch with water until smooth.
4. Pour the cornstarch mixture into the peaches:
   • Stir constantly until the mixture thickens into a glossy sauce.
5. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 2: Make the Bottom Crust

1. In a mixing bowl:
   • Combine flour, sugar, and salt.
2. Add cold butter:
   • Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to mix until it resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Gradually add ice water:
   • Mix until the dough just comes together.
4. Roll or press the dough into a baking dish.
5. Pre-bake at 350°F (180°C) for 10 minutes.

 Step 3: Prepare the Middle Batter

1. In a bowl:
   • Mix flour and sugar.
2. Add melted butter and vanilla:
   • Stir until smooth and slightly thick.

 Step 4: Make the Crumble Topping

1. In another bowl:
   • Combine flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
2. Add butter:
   • Mix with your fingers until crumbly (small clumps form).

 Step 5: Assemble the Cobbler

1. Over the pre-baked crust:
   • Spread the peach filling evenly.
2. Pour the middle batter over the peaches:
   • Do not mix—just layer it.
3. Sprinkle the crumble topping generously on top.

 Step 6: Bake

• Bake at 350°F (180°C) for 35–45 minutes
• The top should be:
  • Golden brown
  • Slightly crisp
• The filling should be bubbling around the edges

Step 7: Cool & Serve

• Let the cobbler rest for 15–20 minutes
• Serve warm for best flavor

 Optional toppings:

• Vanilla ice cream
• Whipped cream
• Caramel drizzle

 Tips for Best Results

• Use ripe, juicy peaches for maximum flavor
• Don’t skip cornstarch—it thickens the filling perfectly
• Cold butter is key for a flaky crust
• Let it cool slightly before serving so it sets properly
