Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using fresh peaches when in season, or substitute with canned peaches in syrup for added sweetness. If you're looking to reduce sugar, try using a sugar substitute or reducing the amount of sugar in the recipe by a few tablespoons. Adding a pinch of cinnamon can enhance the taste. Also, ensure your butter is fully melted to create a nice base for the cobbler.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the peach cobbler warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream on top for a delightful contrast. It pairs wonderfully with a side of Open House Salad for a light meal or can be enjoyed as a sweet treat on its own. For an extra crunch, sprinkle some granola on top before serving.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover peach cobbler in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place it in the oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes or until warmed through. You can also microwave individual portions for about 30 seconds, but be cautious not to overheat, as it may become soggy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen peaches instead of canned?
Yes, you can definitely use frozen peaches for this recipe. Just be sure to thaw and drain them well to avoid excess moisture in the cobbler. This will help maintain the right texture during baking.
What can I substitute for flour in this recipe?
For a gluten-free option, you can substitute all-purpose flour with almond flour or a gluten-free baking mix. Just note that the texture might differ slightly, so adjust the baking time as needed.
How do I know when the cobbler is done baking?
The cobbler is done when the top is golden brown and the juices are bubbling around the edges. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean. Keep an eye on it towards the end of the baking time to ensure it doesn’t overcook.
