4 cups fresh peaches, sliced
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter (one stick)
1 dash nutmeg
1 1/2 cups flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup shortening (I use butter-flavored Crisco)
1/4 cup cold water

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350.
Combine peaches, butter, sugar and nutmeg in a saucepan. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat. Simmer until peaches are tender and mixture starts to thicken, about 20 minutes. Pour into baking dish.
Combine flour, shortening, and salt, and mix with a pastry cutter. Add just enough cold water to make a crust, and roll out to fit the cobbler.
Lay the crust over the peaches and make several slashes with a sharp knife.
Bake 35-45 minutes, or until the crust just looks done.
