Ingredients
Instructions
- Butter a 9 or 10-inch pie dish at least 1 1/2 inches deep and place the peaches in the dish.
- Spread the cubed bread evenly over the peaches.

Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, substitute the peaches with other fruits like blueberries or cherries to create a different flavor profile. If you prefer a bit of crunch, consider adding a sprinkle of oats or chopped nuts on top before baking. Ensure the bread is stale for better texture. For a richer flavor, use brioche or challah instead of regular bread. Always taste the sugar level in the fruit before adding too much.
Serving Suggestions
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an indulgent touch. This dish pairs beautifully with Mike'S Ice Cream for a delightful dessert experience. For a complete meal, consider serving it alongside grilled pork chops or a light salad to balance the sweetness of the cobbler.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place individual portions in the microwave for about 30-45 seconds or bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes until warmed through. This dish can also be served cold, making it versatile for dessert.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen peaches instead of fresh?
Yes, you can use frozen peaches; just ensure they are thawed and drained of excess moisture to prevent the cobbler from becoming soggy. Frozen fruit may cook a bit faster, so keep an eye on the baking time.
What can I use instead of butter for a dairy-free option?
You can substitute the butter with coconut oil or vegan butter for a dairy-free version. Both options will maintain the richness and moisture of the cobbler without compromising flavor.
How can I make this recipe gluten-free?
To make this recipe gluten-free, use gluten-free bread and ensure that the other ingredients, such as flour and sugar, are also certified gluten-free. This swap allows you to enjoy the dish without gluten while maintaining texture and taste.
