Can I use frozen peaches for this recipe?

Yes, frozen peaches can be used if fresh ones are not available. Just make sure to thaw and drain them well before use.

How can I make sure my cobbler isn’t too runny?

Be sure to let the peach mixture sit with sugar to draw out excess liquid and allow the cobbler to cool before serving.

Is it possible to prepare this in advance?

Absolutely! You can prepare the peach mixture and the dry ingredients separately in advance. Combine and bake just before serving for the best results.
