The steps of preparation (possible in all kinds of variations)

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a deep baking dish with butter.
2. In a large bowl, toss the peach slices with 1 cup of sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt. Let this mixture sit for 10 minutes to allow the peaches to release their juices.
3. Roll out the first pie crust and press it into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared baking dish.
4. Spoon half of the peach mixture over the crust, spreading it evenly.
5. Dot the filling with half of the butter cubes.
6. Roll out the second pie crust and lay it over the peaches, pressing the edges to seal.
7. Add the remaining peach mixture on top of the second crust.
8. Dot the top with the remaining butter cubes.
9. Roll out the third pie crust and cover the top of the cobbler, crimping the edges to seal.
10. Cut several small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
11. Brush the top crust with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
12. Sprinkle the remaining sugar over the top.
13. Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
14. Allow it to cool for 20 minutes before serving.

This cobbler is versatile and can be prepared using different methods.

If you prefer, you can use an air fryer at 180°C for a shorter cooking time, or even bake it in a Ninja Foodi using the baking function.
