FAQs

Can I use canned or frozen peaches instead of fresh?

Yes, you can use either frozen or canned peaches if fresh ones are not readily available. Make sure to thaw the frozen peaches and drain any excess liquid from canned peaches before using them in the recipe. Fresh peaches are ideal for the best flavor and texture, but it will still turn out delicious.

Absolutely! You can experiment with other fruits such as berries, apples, or cherries. Feel free to get creative and adapt the recipe to your favorite fruit or to whatever fresh fruit is available.

How do I store leftover cobbler?

Allow cobbler to cool completely and place in an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Can I freeze leftover peach cobbler?

Absolutely! Allow the cobbler to cool completely, then transfer it to an airtight container or wrap it tightly with plastic wrap and aluminum foil. Store it in the freezer for up to 2-3 months. To reheat, thaw the cobbler in the refrigerator overnight and warm it in the oven at a low temperature until heated through.
