Notes
Serve the peach cobbler warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream on top. To store leftovers, let it cool completely, then cover with plastic wrap or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Reheat in the microwave for individual servings. Variations: Add blueberries, blackberries, or lemon juice to the peach mixture, or replace half of the flour with whole wheat flour for a healthier option.
