Secrets for the Best Cobbler
🍑 Use ripe but firm peaches (soft ones turn mushy).
🔥 Bake on a sheet tray to catch drips!
🕰️ No fresh peaches? Substitute 4 cups frozen peaches (thawed and drained).
Why This Recipe Wins
✅ Juicy, not soggy (cornstarch keeps it perfect).
✅ Buttery, biscuit-like topping (not too sweet).
✅ Nostalgic flavor with a touch of spice.
Fun Twist: Swap peaches for blackberries + peaches for a “peach-berry” cobbler!
Enjoy this warm, comforting hug in a dish—just like grandma’s kitchen. ❤️
P.S. Leftovers? Reheat in the oven (not microwave) to keep the crust crisp!
