How to Serve Old Oven Peach Cobbler

Old Oven Peach Cobbler is best served warm, straight from the oven. For an extra treat, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top, allowing it to melt slightly into the warm cobbler. This provides a delightful contrast between the warm and cold, enhancing the overall flavor.

How to Store Old Oven Peach Cobbler

To store leftover peach cobbler, let it cool completely and then place it in an airtight container. Keep it in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. If you want to keep it longer, consider freezing it. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil, then place it in a freezer-safe container. It can be frozen for up to 2-3 months. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.

Tips to Make Old Oven Peach Cobbler

• Use Fresh Peaches: If you have fresh peaches available, feel free to use them instead of canned. Just peel and slice them before tossing with sugar.
• Add More Spice: You can experiment with other spices such as allspice or cloves for added flavor.
• Customize Your Toppings: Try adding nuts for a crunchy texture or a drizzle of caramel sauce for sweetness.

Variation

For a twist on the classic recipe, consider adding berries such as blueberries or raspberries to the peach mixture. This will give the cobbler a vibrant color and an additional burst of flavor. You can also switch the Bisquick for gluten-free flour if needed.
