Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, consider using almond milk instead of regular milk for a nutty flavor. You can also add a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla extract to enhance the taste. If you prefer a less sweet cobbler, reduce the sugar by a couple of tablespoons. Experimenting with different fruits can yield delicious variations; berries or peaches are particularly great choices. This recipe is similar in spirit to American recipes that utilize simple ingredients for a quick dessert.
