What Is Peach Cobbler?

A cobbler — not to be confused with a crisp or crumble — is a deep-dish fruit dessert with a sweetened fruit filling that is topped off with a biscuit-like dough. The dough may cover the entire dish or be dropped by the spoonful, earning it the name “cobbler” for its resemblance to a cobblestone street. It gives you the same fruit-and-pastry combination as pie, but without all the effort.

In the case of peach cobbler, fresh, frozen, or canned peaches may be combined with sugar, spices, lemon juice, and cornstarch (for thickening). As with all cobblers, it’s finished off with a biscuit-like topping and sprinkled with a cinnamon-sugar mixture.

Can You Use Canned or Frozen Peaches?

Although it’s hard to beat a ripe, juicy peach during peak season, canned (well-drained) and frozen peaches (thawed and drained) make a great alternative when fresh is not an option. Reviewers say they had success with both canned and frozen peaches.
