Tips and Expert Tips to Make the Best Peach Cobbler:
You can. The great thing about canned though is that the peach slices may be a little softer compared to some ripe peaches that may not be very ripe and the sugary syrup that the peaches are in, in the can, tend to be sweeter. But it’s definitely an option to make this using fresh, especially if you have juicy peaches.
If you have leftover cobbler, you can store it in an airtight container or simply cover the dish with aluminum foil or plastic wrap and store on the counter, at room temperature, for the day. However, if it’s more than a day, store it in the refrigerator.
No. A cobbler has a “biscuit-like” or “pastry-like” topping, where a crisp has an oat or streusel-type topping that has a “crunch”.

Ellen Mugrage says
It could use some vanilla. I would also reduce the butter as the bottom was very moist. Almost not done consistence.
I did add 5 more minutes for a total of 45 min. The top was getting over cook so didn’t want to add anymore time
NinjaRuth says
I made this in a cast iron frying pan. I heated the pan in the oven while the oven preheated, then put my butter in the pan and let it melt and get just a little brown before pouring the batter in. I love a brown crust and I think this method helps with that. I added vanilla and cinnamon to my batter and sprinkled a little bit of raw sugar on top just before taking out of the oven.
Kirsten Troilo says
I’m getting ready to make this yummy looking recipe, but wonder if your measure of peaches is sliced? I have a TJ’s 23oz jar of halves. Would like to use as many/much fruit as the recipe could handle. Thanks!
Jessica says
Hi Kirsten! I’d personally slice the halves, so they’re easier to eat in the cobbler. So yes, measuring after slicing may be easier as well. 🙂 I hope that helps!
Erin says
I’m not really sure how to rate this because while the batter taste, delicious , I cooked it for 40 minutes and it’s still very liquid. Unfortunately I can’t wait for it to get more firm as I had to leave for an appointment. Do you know why I didn’t firm up? I did use almond flour, which shouldn’t make a difference since I swap that out all the time in recipes.
Jessica says
Hi Erin. Did you remember to drain the peaches by chance? That’s one thing I’d check, as liquid from the peaches could be the problem. Or was the rack in the oven, lower instead of in the middle of the oven? Do you happen to know if the correct measurement of milk was used? Was it mixed together before baking? Those are just a few things that come to mind if it remains as a liquid. I hope that helps narrow it down.
Mr Wright says
did you drain them first ?
Nadine Garwood says
I have a can of blueberry pie filling? Do you think I could use that since I can’t really drain it?
Jessica says
Hi Nadine! This is a great questions. Unfortunately I haven’t tried this but I would love to try it myself, so if you do try it, I’d love to hear how it turns out!

Hi! Wondering if 1 can of peaches drained will provide 2 cups?
Thanks 🙂
Jessica says
Hi Emily! I like to get the “big” can (29 ounces) just to be safe.
Lyndi “Mim" Blair says
