Ingredients
Instructions

- Mix well until combined.
- Place the sliced peaches in a greased 13 x 9-inch baking pan.
- Spread the oat mixture evenly over the peaches.
- Pat down gently to cover the peaches.

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using unsalted butter. If you want a nut-free version, simply omit the walnuts. You can substitute the fresh peaches with canned peaches, but reduce the sugar slightly since they are often sweetened. For added texture, try mixing in some cinnamon or nutmeg to the oat mixture. This recipe is a great way to use up ripe peaches.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this peach cobbler warm, optionally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delicious contrast. It pairs beautifully with Sarah'S Sweet Potato Pie for a delightful dessert spread. Consider serving alongside whipped cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce for added sweetness, making it a perfect treat for summer gatherings.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen peaches instead of fresh?
Yes, you can use frozen peaches for this recipe. Just make sure to thaw and drain them well to avoid excess moisture in the cobbler. Adjust baking time if necessary, as frozen peaches may require a few more minutes to cook through.
What can I use instead of brown sugar?
If you don’t have brown sugar, you can substitute it with white granulated sugar by adding a tablespoon of molasses for each cup of sugar to mimic the flavor and moisture of brown sugar. Alternatively, coconut sugar works well for a similar taste.
Is this recipe suitable for vegetarians?
Yes, this recipe is suitable for vegetarians as it contains no meat or animal-derived ingredients, aside from the optional butter. If you prefer a vegan option, you can replace the butter with a plant-based margarine or coconut oil.
