Treat your ingredients with care...

• Peaches — Choose ripe and juicy peaches for the best flavor. If peaches are not in season, you can use frozen peaches, but make sure to thaw and drain them before using.

Tips & Tricks

• For a twist, add a sprinkle of nutmeg or a splash of vanilla extract to the peach filling.
• Serve the peach cobbler warm for the best taste and texture.
• Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated before serving.

Serving advice

Serve the Classic Southern Peach Cobbler warm, either on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The combination of the warm peach filling and the cold ice cream creates a delightful contrast of temperatures and flavors.

Presentation advice

To enhance the presentation, dust the top of the peach cobbler with powdered sugar before serving. You can also garnish it with a sprig of fresh mint for a pop of color.
