Steps:
- Make the crust: In the bowl of a food processor, pulse together the flour, sugar, and 2 teaspoons salt until just combined. Add the butter and pulse a few more times until the mixture is coarse but the butter pieces are still visible. Slowly add the ice water and pulse to form a dough, six to eight pulses. If the dough looks and feels very dry, add more ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time. Divide the dough in half and wrap each half tightly in plastic wrap; flatten each piece into a disc. Refrigerate the dough for 1 hour.
- Make the filling: In a large bowl, mix together the peaches, sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 375ºF.
- Remove the dough from the refrigerator and cut in half. On a lightly floured surface, roll it into a 9 x 13-inch rectangle, about ¼ inch thick. Set aside and repeat with the second piece of dough.
- Line a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with one of the dough rectangles, pressing any excess dough against the sides of the dish. Pour in the peach filling and spread it evenly. Place the second rectangle of dough on top of the peaches and tuck the excess dough into corners. Brush the dough with the beaten egg and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar. Pierce the top with the tip of a sharp knife in several places to allow steam to escape while baking. Bake until the top crust is golden brown, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Let cool on a rack before serving. Serve with ice cream.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a medium bowl, combine about 1/2 cup of the peach juice with the cornstarch and whisk until smooth. Pour in the remaining peach juice and whisk to blend. Transfer the mixture to a small saucepan and heat over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup of the sugar, 1 teaspoon of the cinnamon, the ginger, nutmeg and a pinch of salt. Cook, whisking, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture thickens, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat. Add the room temperature butter and stir until melted. Pour into a medium heatproof bowl and combine with the chopped peaches. Add 1/2 teaspoon of the vanilla and gently toss to combine. Transfer to a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, remaining 1 1/2 cups sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1 teaspoon vanilla and a pinch of salt. Add the flour and baking powder and gently whisk until incorporated, then gently whisk in the melted butter until combined. Pour the batter over the fruit and peach juice mixture. Don't overfill the dish-leave room for the cobbler batter to rise, about 1/2 inch.
- Bake until golden blonde on top, 30 to 35 minutes, then rotate the baking dish, raise the oven temperature to 400 degrees, and bake until the top of the cobbler is golden brown, 5 to 8 more minutes.
- Let cool on a cooling rack and serve with whipped cream or ice cream.
Tips:
- Use fresh peaches. Fresh peaches have the best flavor and texture for cobbler.
- Peel and slice the peaches. You can use a paring knife or a vegetable peeler to peel the peaches. Then, slice them into thin wedges.
- Make the cobbler filling. In a large bowl, combine the peaches, sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir until the peaches are evenly coated.
- Make the cobbler topping. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Then, use a pastry blender or two forks to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Assemble the cobbler. Pour the peach filling into a greased 9-inch baking dish. Then, sprinkle the cobbler topping evenly over the filling.
- Bake the cobbler. Bake the cobbler at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 45-50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Serve the cobbler warm. Serve the cobbler warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
