PEACH COBBLER with Ciroc Peach Vodka

One problem with Peach Cobbler is that it ALWAYS has too much juice and too little crust to soak it up properly. This little gem of a recipe solves that dilemma with class...and style.

(Popular for a couple of generations in these parts) you might like to add a couple of tablespoons of Ciroc Peach Vodka (made from grapes like Grey Goose) to the filling-it’s good! All the flavors of that vodka are quite strong and "natural" tasting.  

3 packages (11 ounces each) Betty Crocker® pie crust mix or equivalent in homemade crust.

1 cup cold water 

1 1/2 cups sugar 

3/4 cup butter or margarine, melted 

2 teaspoons ground nutmeg 

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 

2 teaspoons vanilla 

2 teaspoons lemon extract

2 cans (29 ounces each) sliced peaches in syrup, undrained, or about 14 perfectly ripe peaches, peeled, sliced, mixed with the1 1/2 cups sugar, covered with Saran wrap and refrigerated overnight-that way they make their own luscious syrup, and you'll want every drop of it.
