Ingredients
Instructions
- Melt oleo in a large oblong baking dish.
- Add peaches (slices and juice) to the dish.

- Sprinkle 1/2 cup sugar over the top.

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using fresh peaches when in season, or substitute with canned peaches in light syrup if necessary. If you want a slightly denser texture, you can replace half of the all-purpose flour with almond flour. To enhance the dish, add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter for warmth. Remember to let the cobbler cool slightly before serving for better slicing.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the peach cobbler warm, ideally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. It pairs beautifully with Nancy'S Spoon Cornbread for a delightful contrast in textures. For a festive touch, sprinkle some chopped nuts over the top before serving or drizzle with caramel sauce for added sweetness.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover peach cobbler in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place individual portions in the microwave for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, or warm in the oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes until heated through. Enjoy it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the best experience.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen peaches instead of canned?
Yes, you can use frozen peaches! Just thaw and drain them before adding to the dish. Keep in mind that frozen peaches may release more moisture, so you might want to reduce the juice slightly to prevent the cobbler from becoming too soggy.
What if I don't have oleo?
Oleo, or margarine, can be substituted with an equal amount of unsalted butter or coconut oil for a dairy-free option. Both alternatives will give you a similar texture and flavor, making your peach cobbler just as delicious.
Can I make this recipe gluten-free?
Absolutely! To make this peach cobbler gluten-free, simply substitute the all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend. Be sure to check that all other ingredients, such as baking powder, are gluten-free as well.
