This cobbler can also be made with other fruits like blueberries or cherries for a twist. Make sure to watch the baking time, as ovens can vary in heat.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh peaches instead of canned?
Absolutely! Fresh peaches can be used, but make sure to peel and slice them before adding to the mixture. You may want to adjust the sugar based on the sweetness of the fresh fruit, as they can vary in flavor.
What can I do if my cobbler is too dry?
If your cobbler turns out dry, serve it with a drizzle of sweetened cream or a scoop of ice cream to add moisture and richness. You can also add a bit more fruit or a splash of fruit juice to the mixture next time for extra juiciness.
Can I make this cobbler ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the mixture ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator. Just remember to bake it just before serving for the best texture. It can be made a day in advance, but it's best enjoyed fresh for optimal flavor.
