Chef Emma’s Helpful Tips

• Make-Ahead Advice: You can prepare the peach filling ahead of time and store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Just add it to the batter right before baking.
• Ingredient Swaps: If you’re out of fresh peaches, use canned peaches in juice (just drain them) or frozen peaches that have been thawed.
• Slicing Tips: To cut peaches easily, score them with a knife and twist gently. The skin will slip away for effortless slicing!
• Storing Leftovers: If you have any cobbler left, store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat in the oven or microwave.
