Notes

  • Fresh peaches give the best flavor, but frozen or canned peaches work well too.
  • Don't stir the batter after pouring it over the peaches.
  • Add extra cinnamon if you enjoy warm spice flavors.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Reheat individual servings in the microwave or oven.
    Use ripe, juicy peaches for the sweetest flavor and let the cobbler cool slightly so the filling thickens before serving.
