Why This Recipe Works
No-fuss method: Layering butter, batter, and fruit creates a self-forming crust.

Expert Tips
Use about 4 cups fresh peaches for brighter flavor; adjust sweetness to taste.
Sprinkle cinnamon sugar over the top before baking for warm spice.
Let the cobbler rest before serving so the juices thicken and the crumb sets.
Storage & Make-Ahead
Refrigerate leftovers, covered, for up to 4 days.
Reheat at 300°F (150°C) for 10–15 minutes to re-crisp the top.
Freeze tightly wrapped for up to 2 months; thaw overnight in the refrigerator, then warm before serving.
