Instructions

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a splash of vanilla extract to the fruit filling. If you want to reduce sugar, you can use a sugar substitute or omit it entirely, as the pie fillings are already sweet. For a twist, try adding a handful of blueberries or raspberries to the mix for a mixed fruit cobbler.
Serving Suggestions
Serve warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream on top for a delightful contrast. This cherry peach cobbler pairs beautifully with brunch items or can be enjoyed as a dessert at any meal. For a fun twist, consider serving it alongside a slice of 'Puppy Chow' for a sweet snack platter.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh cherries and peaches instead of canned pie filling?
Yes, you can absolutely use fresh fruits! Simply pit and slice the cherries and peaches, then toss them with sugar and a bit of cornstarch to thicken the juices while baking. This will give your cobbler a fresh and vibrant flavor.
What can I use instead of biscuits?
If you don’t have biscuits, you can substitute with a homemade biscuit dough or even a cake mix for a different texture. Alternatively, consider using puff pastry for a flaky topping that's equally delicious.
How do I know when the cobbler is done baking?
The cobbler is done when the biscuit topping is golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbling around the edges. A toothpick inserted into the biscuit should come out clean, indicating that it's cooked through.
