Serving and Storage
Serve this cobbler warm, straight from the baking dish, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence. The contrast between the creamy topping and the sweet, buttery crust is irresistible.
Any leftovers can be covered tightly with foil or plastic wrap and stored in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat in the oven at 325°F until warmed through to restore its crisp texture.
Tips for Perfect Cobbler
- Don’t stir the layers: Pouring the batter over melted butter and fruit over the batter allows the crust to rise beautifully on its own.
- Use real butter: It provides rich flavor and that golden edge that margarine can’t replicate.
- Check early: Oven times can vary; start checking around the 50-minute mark for a deep golden-brown top.
- Experiment with fruit: This same recipe works wonderfully with canned cherries, apples, or mixed berries for variety.
Quick to make and deeply comforting, this Last-Minute Peach Cobbler is proof that simple ingredients can create something extraordinary. It’s the perfect dessert for surprise guests, family dinners, or whenever you need a warm taste of homemade sweetness in under an hour.
