Quick and Easy Peach Cobbler Recipe
WHAT KIND OF PEACHES SHOULD I USE FOR COBBLER?
What makes this cobbler so great is that you can really use any kind of peaches! That means no matter what time of year it is, you can always whip up this recipe to satisfy your sweet tooth.I used frozen peaches when I made the recipe, but you can also use canned or fresh peaches too. If using canned, use just one 23-ounce can of sliced peaches in syrup (drain the syrup before using).
If you’re using fresh peaches, you’ll need about 3 peaches, or measure out 2 cups of sliced peaches. Both white and yellow peaches will work for this recipe too.
WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO MAKE PEACH COBBLER?
Any time is the best time to make cobbler! I mean it when I say there is truly no wrong time to make this recipe. Especially since, as stated above, you can use a variety of different peaches, so you never have to wait around for peak peach season to enjoy a dessert this good.With this being a smaller quantity cobbler, it’s perfect to make for a little weeknight post-dinner treat. It’s a great size to feed a family of 4-6 and not have to worry about storing any leftovers.
Can I double the recipe?
Yes! If you want to make peach cobbler for your next party or backyard bbq, you can easily double the recipe and bake it in a 9×13 in pan instead of a 9×9 in pan.The dish doesn’t need to be refrigerated so it’s perfectly safe to be set out on any party dessert table while people graze. If you somehow end up with leftovers, it will keep for up to 4 days before the crust begins to get too soggy.
HOW TO MAKE PERFECT COBBLER EVERY TIME
- Thaw your peaches: If you choose to use frozen peaches as I did, you’ll want to set them out to thaw first. This will allow the peaches to separate so you don’t a big clump. It also allows the juices from the peaches to come out and make for a better filling.
- Don’t Stir: I can’t say this enough, DO NOT STIR when placing each layer into the baking dish. It might sound weird but it’s what makes the cobbler come out just right. Stirring everything will not leave you with the same results, so just don’t do it.
- Broil for extra crispiness: If you like your crust to have that little bit of extra crunch, then I highly suggest letting it boil for just a few minutes before taking it out of the oven. It’s truly life-changing.
