Tips & Substitutions
For a sweeter cobbler, consider using ripe, juicy peaches. If you’re out of tapioca, cornstarch can be a great substitute for thickening the filling. You can also add a pinch of cinnamon for extra flavor. Feel free to use any refrigerated cookie dough, including chocolate chip, for a fun twist. Serve your cobbler warm for the best experience.

Storage & Reheating
Leftover cobbler can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes, until warmed through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen peaches instead of fresh ones?
Yes, you can use frozen peaches, but make sure to thaw and drain excess liquid before mixing them with the sugar and tapioca. This will help prevent the filling from becoming too watery during baking. Adjust the sugar based on the sweetness of the frozen fruit.
What can I substitute for sugar in this recipe?
You can substitute granulated sugar with brown sugar for a deeper flavor or use a sugar alternative like Stevia or erythritol for a lower-calorie option. Just check the equivalent measurements on the packaging, as some substitutes are sweeter than sugar.
How do I know when the cobbler is done baking?
The cobbler is done when the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling around the edges. A toothpick inserted into the cookie dough should come out clean. Baking times may vary, so keep an eye on it during the last few minutes.
