Notes
- Ripe, in-season peaches make all the difference in flavor and sweetness for this classic dessert.
- Let the peaches sit with sugar for 10-15 minutes before baking to help release their natural juices.
- For a gluten-free version, swap regular flour with almond or coconut flour and check that your baking powder is gluten-free.
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream to elevate the classic cobbler experience.
