LATTICE PIE CRUST
Lattice pie crust is weaved pie dough across the pie filling. It's not only a beautiful way to decorate a pie or fruit cobbler, it also lets steam escape between the holes.
- Use a quality pie– Whether that's making your own pie crust or using a store-bought one. Make sure it's a quality pie dough that is sturdy and will hold up to weaving a lattice crust.
- Cut dough into strips – Use a pastry wheel or small pizza cutter. You can also use a ruler as a guide to make straight lines.
- Refrigerate pie strips– Place strips onto a half sheet pan lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour. (Making them super chilled.)
- Place pie strips vertically over pie – Lay strips vertically, starting in the center of the pie so it is even.
- Place pie strips opposite direction – Pull back every other strip and lay a strip of pie dough the opposite direction.

TIPS ON WORKING WITH PIE DOUGH
- Keep the pie dough chilled– always. If it gets to warm, plop it back into the fridge or even the freezer for a bit.
- Doesn't have to be perfect! Working with pie dough and weaving a lattice crust takes practice. Don't stress and remember it doesn't have to be perfect. It will still taste amazing!
Recipe FAQs
Do you need ripe peaches for cobbler?
While ripe peaches are ideal for homemade peach cobbler, if they are not in season you can use frozen peaches. Peaches and other fruit are called "IQF" which means individually quick frozen. They are harvested at peak season and frozen to preserve freshness.
Why is my peach cobbler runny?
This usually means your peaches or fruit were extra juicy or you have not let it cool down enough. Depending on how ripe or juicy your peaches are you may need additional tapioca to thicken the cobbler filling prior to baking.
How do I know if my peach cobbler is done?
The filling should be bubbly around the sides and the biscuit topping or pie crust nicley golden browned.

You can use homemade or store-bought pie crust.
Adjust the sugar based off how sweet or tart your peaches are. Use more sugar if you need.
Set the baking dish on a half sheet pan lined with parchment paper to catch any fruit juices that might overflow.
Turn the baking dish fully around half way through the baking process to evenly brown the crust and cook the filling.
Use fresh or frozen peaches for this cobbler. (Frozen peaches are frozen at the peak of their ripeness and are absolutely delicious!)
I used about 10-12 fresh peaches from the farmers market. Which is about 6-7 cups of peaches. (It really depends on how big or small your peaches are)
If using frozen peaches you do NOT need to thaw them!
Cobbler will keep for a few days stored in the refrigerator.
