butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil is plant-based and lower in saturated fat; margarine is usually cheaper.

Sift together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of salt.

Add 3/4 cup of shortening and cut it into the flour using two butter knives.

Add 1/3 cup of ice cold water to the mixture and form it into a ball of dough.

Cover the dough with cling wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or freeze for 30 minutes if short on time.

Take half of the dough, roll it out, and cut it into small squares.

Place the squares on a lined baking sheet with parchment paper and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes.

Prepare the peach filling by peeling and cutting 1.5 to 2 pounds of peaches and placing them in a saucepan.

Add 1/2 to 1 cup of sugar and 1 cup of water to the peaches and bring to a boil.

Lower the heat and add 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon and 3 to 5 tablespoons of butter.

Turn off the heat and add a flour slurry made from 1 tablespoon of flour mixed with 1/3 to 1/2 cup of water to thicken the juices.

Roll out the remaining dough and top the cobbler in a 9 by 13 baking pan.

Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F for about 15 to 20 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
