How to Store Peach Cobbler

Tips to Make Peach Cobbler
- Use ripe, fresh peaches for the best flavor, but if they’re not in season, canned peaches work well too.
- Make sure not to stir the batter and peach mixture together before baking; this helps create a nice layer on top.
- For added flavor, try sprinkling a little nutmeg along with the cinnamon.
Variation
You can switch up the recipe by adding other fruits, such as blueberries, blackberries, or even apples. This will give your cobbler a different taste while still being delicious. Another option is to add a sprinkle of oats on top for a crunchy texture.
