FAQs

Can I use fresh peaches instead of canned?
Yes! Just peel them, slice them, and toss them with a bit of sugar to create a natural syrup.

Can I make this cobbler ahead of time?
Absolutely! Prepare it in advance and refrigerate until you’re ready to bake. Just allow some extra time to cook since the dish will be cold.

How do I reheat leftovers?
Reheat the cobbler in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) until warm. This keeps the topping from getting soggy.
