Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, combine sliced peaches, cornstarch, brown sugar, lemon juice, and cinnamon. Mix well.
- If using canned peaches, add 1/2 cup of syrup instead of water.
- Pour the peach mixture into a greased baking dish.
- In a separate bowl, prepare the cake topping (if specified in a full recipe, otherwise use a prepared cake batter or slices).
- Spread the cake topping evenly over the peaches.
- Dot the top with small pieces of margarine.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and bubbly.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a splash of vanilla extract to the peach mixture. If you prefer a healthier twist, substitute some of the brown sugar with honey or maple syrup. You can also use a gluten-free cake mix for a gluten-free option. Don't forget to taste the peaches before baking to adjust sweetness if needed.
Serving Suggestions
Serve warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a delightful contrast. This cobbler pairs beautifully with Lip Smackin' Punch for a refreshing beverage. For a complete meal, consider serving it alongside a light salad or grilled chicken to balance the sweetness of the dessert.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the cobbler in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes, or until warmed through. You can also microwave individual servings for quick reheating but be careful not to overheat, as this can make the topping soggy.
