Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen peaches for this recipe?
Yes, you can use frozen peaches in this recipe. Just make sure to thaw them and drain any excess liquid before using them in the cobbler to avoid a soggy bottom.
What can I substitute for the yellow cake mix?
If you prefer to make it from scratch, you can substitute the yellow cake mix with a homemade cake batter using flour, sugar, baking powder, and eggs. Alternatively, a gluten-free cake mix can also be used for a gluten-free version.
How do I know when the cobbler is done baking?
The cobbler is done when the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top appears browning too quickly, you can cover it loosely with aluminum foil during the last few minutes of baking.
