Ingredients
Instructions
- Melt the margarine in the bottom of the pie pan.
- Mix sugar, flour, milk, and vanilla together.
- Pour the batter mixture over the melted margarine in the pie pan.
- Arrange peach slices evenly over the batter.
- Bake at 325°F for about 40 minutes, watching carefully as oven temperatures vary.
Tips & Substitutions
For a fruitier twist, consider using a mix of berries or apples instead of peaches. You can also substitute half of the sugar with honey or maple syrup for a different flavor profile. Make sure to melt the margarine thoroughly to ensure an even base. If you want a crispier top, sprinkle a bit of cinnamon or nutmeg before baking.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this cobbler pie warm, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a delightful contrast. It pairs beautifully with Theresa Shea'S Applesauce Cake for a dessert spread. Additionally, consider drizzling a bit of caramel sauce over the top for extra sweetness and a lovely presentation.
Storage & Reheating
Allow the cobbler pie to cool completely before storing. Cover it tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil, or transfer it to an airtight container. It can be refrigerated for up to 3 days. To reheat, place individual slices in the microwave for 30 seconds, or warm the entire pie in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 15 minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen fruit instead of canned?
Yes, frozen fruit can be used in this recipe. Just make sure to thaw and drain any excess liquid before adding it to the batter to prevent a soggy pie. This works well with berries or other fruits, ensuring a delicious cobbler pie.
What if I don't have margarine?
You can easily substitute margarine with an equal amount of unsalted butter or coconut oil. Each of these alternatives will provide a rich flavor, although using butter may yield a slightly different texture due to its milk content.
How do I know when the cobbler is done?
The cobbler is done when the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Keep an eye on it during the last few minutes of baking, as ovens can vary significantly in temperature.
