Instructions

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using brown sugar instead of white sugar. If fresh peaches aren't available, canned or frozen peaches can be substituted—just make sure to drain excess liquid. To enhance the spice profile, you might add a pinch of cinnamon along with the nutmeg. Remember to let the cobbler cool slightly before serving to allow the juices to thicken.
Serving Suggestions
This Peach Festival Cobbler is delightful when served warm, especially with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. You can also drizzle it with a bit of caramel sauce for added sweetness. It pairs wonderfully with other desserts like Chocolate Covered Cherries And Nuts during festive gatherings. For a refreshing touch, serve with a side of whipped cream or fresh berries.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply warm in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15 minutes or until heated through. You can also microwave individual portions for 30-60 seconds, but be cautious not to overheat, as it can become soggy.
