Notes
- Fresh peaches make the best peach cobbler when they are ripe and in season.
- Frozen peaches work well when fresh peaches are unavailable.
- Canned peaches can be used, but they should be drained before cooking.
- The filling can be made one day ahead and stored in the refrigerator after cooling.
- Serve warm peach cobbler with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
