Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using fresh peaches when in season; just peel and slice them before adding to the dish. If you don't have self-rising flour, you can make your own by combining all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Additionally, for a touch of spice, sprinkle some cinnamon over the peaches before adding the batter.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Peggy's Fabulous Peach Cobbler warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream on top. It pairs beautifully with the Best Ever Date Pudding for a delightful dessert spread. You can also enjoy it for breakfast with a side of yogurt or fresh fruit for a comforting start to your day.
Storage & Reheating
Once cooled, store leftover peach cobbler in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place individual portions in the microwave for 30-60 seconds, or warm in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes until heated through. Enjoy it warm for the best flavor.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen peaches instead of canned?
Yes, you can use frozen peaches, but make sure to thaw and drain them well before adding to the baking dish. This prevents excess moisture from making the cobbler soggy. You might also want to add a little extra sugar to balance the flavors if the peaches are tart.
What can I substitute for butter?
If you're looking for a substitute for butter, you can use margarine or coconut oil. For a dairy-free option, try using a plant-based butter. This will still provide a rich flavor while accommodating dietary restrictions, making it suitable for various vegetarian recipes.
How do I know when the cobbler is done baking?
The cobbler is done when the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Additionally, the edges should be bubbly. Keep an eye on it during the last few minutes of baking to ensure it doesn't overcook.
