Pro Tips for the Best Peach Cobbler

• Fresh vs. Canned/Frozen: Fresh peaches are unbeatable in summer! If using canned peaches, opt for peaches in juice or light syrup and drain excess liquid. For frozen peaches, thaw and drain them before tossing with starch.
• Thicken the Fruit Juices: Peaches release a significant amount of liquid as they bake. Always toss your sliced fruit with 1 to 2 tablespoons of cornstarch or flour along with a splash of lemon juice to achieve a thick, glossy syrup instead of a watery pool.
• Cobbler vs. Crisp: Remember that a cobbler features a biscuit, batter, or pastry topping, whereas a crisp uses an oat and nut crumble topping!
