Directions
Preheat an oven to 425ºF.In a large bowl, stir together the peaches, 1/4 cup plus 2 Tbs. granulated sugar, the brown sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice and nutmeg. Transfer to a 2-quart rectangular baker and scatter the butter pieces on top.
On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the cobbler dough 1/4 inch thick. Tear the dough into 3-inch pieces and place on top of the peach filling. Brush the dough with the beaten egg and sprinkle with the 1 tsp. granulated sugar.

Perfect dessert for summer
This peach cobbler is always a hit at parties/backyard BBQs! The first 2 times I've made this, there was a faint funny taste to it. Later, I realized didn't use freshly grated nutmeg and used ground nutmeg instead. So I decided to let the ground nutmeg granules dissolve with the peaches, sugar, lemon juice and cornstarch in a bag overnight, which did the trick! However, I decided that I needed invest in a spice grater instead of going through the trouble of marinating the peaches again.
