Tips & Substitutions
For a quicker prep, use canned peaches in syrup for added sweetness. If you're out of cinnamon, nutmeg or pumpkin spice can make a nice substitute. To make it healthier, consider using whole wheat flour or a sugar alternative. This recipe works well with fresh or frozen peaches too, just adjust the baking time if using fresh.
Serving Suggestions
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an indulgent touch. It also pairs beautifully with Hot Spice Pecans for a crunchy contrast. This peach cobbler is perfect for a summer gathering or as a comforting dessert after a hearty meal. Consider serving it alongside a light salad for a balanced meal.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the cobbler in the oven at 350°F until warmed through, or microwave individual portions for about 30 seconds. The cobbler may lose some crispiness, so reheating in the oven is preferable.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh peaches instead of canned?
Yes, fresh peaches can be used! Just peel and slice about 4-5 medium peaches. You may need to adjust the baking time, as fresh peaches may require a bit longer to soften compared to canned ones.
How can I make this recipe gluten-free?
To make a gluten-free version, substitute regular flour with a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend. Ensure that the blend includes xanthan gum for proper texture. The baking time remains the same, but check for doneness earlier if needed.
What can I do if I don't have enough milk?
If you're short on milk, you can substitute with an equal amount of almond milk, soy milk, or even yogurt thinned with water. These alternatives will still give you a moist batter without compromising much on flavor.
