Lazy Cobbler(Peach)
A quick and easy peach cobbler with a fluffy batter topping, perfect for a comforting dessert that highlights sweet, juicy peaches with a golden crust. Ideal for casual gatherings.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Heat the sliced peaches in a saucepan until very hot.
- Melt the margarine in a 2-quart casserole dish.
- Combine the dry ingredients (flour, sugar, baking powder, salt) with 1/3 cup of milk to make a thin batter.
- Pour the batter over the melted margarine in the casserole dish.
- Pour the hot peaches over the batter.
- Bake at 375°F until golden brown, about 20 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using fresh peaches when in season, or try swapping half of the margarine with butter for a deeper taste. If you want to try a different fruit, this recipe works well with blueberries or blackberries. Be sure to keep the batter thin, as a thicker batter may not cook evenly. For a zesty twist, add a teaspoon of cinnamon or nutmeg to the dry ingredients.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Lazy Cobbler warm, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast. It pairs beautifully with a dollop of whipped cream, enhancing its sweetness. For a more festive touch, consider serving it alongside the Blender Lemon Cheesecake for a refreshing end to your meal. This dessert is perfect for gatherings or casual family dinners.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place the cobbler in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes, or until warmed through. You can also microwave individual portions for quick reheating, but the oven will help maintain the cobbler's texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen peaches instead of canned?
Yes, you can use frozen peaches! Just ensure they are thawed and drained before use to avoid excess moisture in the dish. You may need to bake a few extra minutes until the cobbler is golden brown and cooked through.
What can I use instead of margarine?
If you prefer not to use margarine, you can substitute with unsalted butter for a richer flavor. Coconut oil is another excellent alternative for a dairy-free option, adding a slight coconut taste to the cobbler.
How can I make this recipe gluten-free?
To make a gluten-free version, replace all-purpose flour with a gluten-free baking blend. Ensure that your baking powder is also gluten-free. The texture may vary slightly, but you'll still enjoy a delicious cobbler!
