Tips & Variations

  • Use frozen fruit straight from the freezer to save prep time and still achieve a flavorful baked cobbler.
  • Swap peaches for nectarines or even plums for a different peachy twist.
  • Add chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts to the topping for extra crunch.
  • For a gluten-free version, replace all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.

Storage

Store leftover cobbler in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or oven until warmed through. Avoid prolonged reheating to keep the topping from becoming soggy.
