Ingredients
Instructions
- Lightly grease an 8 x 12 inch pan.
- Pour peaches into the pan.
- Mix together sugar and nutmeg.
- Sprinkle the sugar mixture over the peaches.

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of cinnamon to the sugar and nutmeg mixture. If you don't have margarine, butter works as a great substitute. You can also use fresh peaches if they're in season; just peel and slice them. To enhance the texture, try adding a sprinkle of oats on top of the pie crust before baking.
Serving Suggestions
Serve your peach cobbler warm, optionally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast. It pairs beautifully with Country Cole Slaw for a more substantial meal. Consider drizzling with caramel sauce for added sweetness, or enjoy it with a cup of Hot Holiday Drink for a cozy dessert experience.
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 a crispy crust, reheat in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 10 minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen peaches instead of canned?
Yes, frozen peaches can be a great alternative. Make sure to thaw and drain them well before using, as excess moisture can affect the cobbler's consistency. Adjust the sugar if the peaches are sweetened, and you might want to reduce the baking time slightly.
Can I make this cobbler ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the peach mixture and assemble the cobbler in advance. Cover it and store it in the refrigerator for up to a day. Just add a few extra minutes to the baking time if baking straight from the refrigerator.
What can I pair with peach cobbler for a gathering?
Peach cobbler is perfect for potlucks or gatherings. Pair it with a refreshing Cherry Slurpee for a fun beverage option. Complement it with savory dishes like Oven Barbecued Steak for a hearty meal, and finish off with this fruity dessert to balance flavors.
