Ingredients
Instructions
- Place sliced peaches or apples in a baking dish.
- Sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar (omit cinnamon if using peaches).
- Combine the beaten egg, self-rising flour, sugar, melted margarine, and water; beat well.
- Remove crust edges from the white bread slices and cut into triangles.
- Arrange the bread triangles on top of the fruit, covering all of the top.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread and fruit.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30 minutes until golden and bubbly.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a splash of vanilla extract to the egg mixture. If you're out of self-rising flour, you can substitute with all-purpose flour and add a teaspoon of baking powder. Adjust the sugar based on the sweetness of your fruits; fresh peaches often require less sugar than apples. To add texture, sprinkle some oats on top before baking.
Serving Suggestions
Serve warm, optionally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a delightful contrast. This cobbler pairs beautifully with Cheese Cake Dip(Fruit Dip) for an extra creamy touch. It's also great alongside a cup of coffee or tea, making it a perfect dessert for gatherings or casual family dinners.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen fruit for this cobbler?
Yes, frozen fruit can be used in this recipe, but it's best to thaw and drain excess liquid before adding to the baking dish to prevent a soggy cobbler. You may need to adjust the baking time slightly as frozen fruit may take longer to cook through.
What can I use instead of margarine?
If you prefer not to use margarine, unsalted butter is an excellent substitute and will add a richer flavor to the cobbler. You could also use coconut oil for a dairy-free option, though it may impart a slight coconut flavor.
Can I make this cobbler ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the cobbler ahead of time and store it unbaked in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. When ready to bake, simply allow it to come to room temperature before placing it in the oven. This is a great option for meal prep or entertaining!
