Ingredients
Instructions
- Line a pan with sliced peaches.
- Make a batter by mixing melted oleo, flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, milk, and vanilla.
- Pour the batter over the peaches.
- Mix 1 cup sugar with water and pour over the batter.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 1 hour.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using fresh peaches when in season. If you're out of oleo or margarine, unsalted butter works well as a substitute. Adjust the sugar based on the sweetness of the peaches; you might use less if they are very sweet. To enhance the batter, a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg can add warmth. If you prefer a denser cobbler, reduce the milk slightly.
Serving Suggestions
Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream on top for a delightful contrast to the warm cobbler. It pairs beautifully with Grandma Tessie'S Maraschino Cherry Cake for a sweet dessert spread. Consider adding a dollop of yogurt or a sprinkle of cinnamon for added flavor, making it perfect for gatherings or family dinners.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place individual portions in the microwave for 30-60 seconds or warm the entire dish in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until heated through. If the cobbler seems dry, add a splash of milk while reheating to restore moisture.

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 using to avoid excess liquid. This can add a fresh taste to your cobbler while still being convenient. Adjust the baking time slightly if necessary, as frozen peaches may retain more moisture.
What can I do if my batter is too thick?
If your batter is too thick, gradually add a bit more milk until you reach the desired consistency. The batter should be pourable but not too runny. If you overmix, it may become dense, so stir gently. A thicker batter will still work, but it may result in a different texture.
Is this recipe suitable for a gluten-free diet?
To make a gluten-free version, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Be sure to check that the other ingredients, especially the baking powder, are gluten-free. The cobbler should maintain its delicious flavor and texture with these adjustments, making it accessible for gluten-free diets.
