Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh peaches instead of canned?
Yes, fresh peaches can be used! You'll need about 6-8 medium peaches. Peel and slice them, then add a bit of sugar to mimic the sweetness of canned peaches. Adjust the baking time as fresh peaches may release more juice.
What can I use instead of margarine?
You can replace margarine with unsalted butter or a dairy-free alternative like coconut oil. Both will work well, though butter will add a richer flavor, while coconut oil may impart a subtle coconut taste.
Is this recipe suitable for vegans?
To make this recipe vegan, substitute the margarine with a plant-based butter and ensure the cake mix does not contain any dairy ingredients. Many brands offer vegan yellow cake mixes. This way, you can enjoy a delicious vegan version of this cobbler!
