- Don’t stir the batter and peaches together. The layered method creates that perfect cobbler texture.

- Serve warm for best flavor, and let it rest for a few minutes out of the oven to thicken naturally.
Common Questions
Can I use fresh peaches instead of canned?
Yes! Use about 4 cups of peeled, sliced peaches. Toss them with 2–3 tablespoons of sugar and a squeeze of lemon before layering.
Do I need to refrigerate leftovers?
Yes. Store cooled cobbler in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat before serving.
Can I make it dairy-free?
Absolutely. Use plant-based butter and non-dairy milk like almond or oat milk.
What if I want it less sweet?
Cut the sugar in both the peach filling and the batter by 1/4 cup each without sacrificing flavor.
