FAQs

How do I know when the cobbler is done baking?

Can I use frozen fruit?

Yes, you can use frozen peaches and raspberries. No need to thaw; just increase the baking time by a few minutes.

Do I need to peel the peaches?

Peeling is optional, but it gives a smoother texture to the cobbler.

What type of baking dish should I use?
