Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh peaches instead of canned?
Yes, you can use fresh peaches! Just slice about 4-5 medium peaches and toss them with a little sugar to create some juice. This will enhance the flavor and make the cobbler even more delicious.
Is it necessary to use butter?
While butter adds richness and flavor to the cobbler, you can substitute it with margarine or a plant-based butter alternative for a similar texture. Just be sure that whatever you use melts well over the cake mix.
Can I make this cobbler gluten-free?
Absolutely! You can use a gluten-free cake mix instead of the yellow cake mix. Just ensure that all other ingredients, especially the canned peaches, are gluten-free as well to maintain the integrity of the recipe.
