- Line the bottom and sides of the pan with pie crust.
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Drain and rinse three large cans of sliced peaches.

- Mix well to coat the peaches thoroughly.

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using brown sugar instead of white, or adding a pinch of cinnamon to the peach mixture. If fresh peaches are in season, they can be substituted for canned ones, but you may need to adjust the sugar based on their ripeness. Ensure the crust is well-sealed to prevent leakage during baking. You can also use a different flavor extract, like almond, to switch up the taste.
Serving Suggestions
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an indulgent dessert. This dish pairs beautifully with Fruited Cream Cheese Spread For Quick Bread, making for a delightful brunch option. You can also serve it alongside a light salad for a balanced meal.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place individual servings in the microwave for about 30 seconds or until warmed through. For best results, reheat in the oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes to maintain the crispiness of the crust.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of fruit for this recipe?
Yes, you can easily substitute the peaches with other fruits like apples, cherries, or mixed berries. Just adjust the sugar based on the sweetness of the fruit you choose. Keep in mind that different fruits may require different baking times.
How do I know when the kobbler is done baking?
The kobbler is done when the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. You can check the crust by looking for a deep golden color around the edges. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, cover it loosely with foil during the last few minutes of baking.
Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the peach filling and assemble the kobbler in advance. Cover it tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking. Just remember to let it sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before putting it in the oven to ensure even baking.
