Can I use frozen peaches instead of fresh?

Absolutely! Frozen peaches work wonderfully in this recipe. No need to thaw them first – just toss them with the sugar and maple syrup while still frozen. You might need to add about 5-10 minutes to the baking time.

My cobbler seems too runny. What did I do wrong?

Peaches naturally vary in juiciness. If your cobbler seems too runny, it might need a bit more baking time, or your peaches might have been extra juicy. Let it cool for 30 minutes before serving, as it will continue to thicken as it cools.

Can I make this cobbler ahead of time for a dinner party?

Yes! You can prepare this cobbler up to a day in advance. Simply reheat it in a 300°F oven for about 20 minutes before serving. The maple butter can also be made ahead and gently reheated.

Is there a way to make this recipe gluten-free?

Definitely! Simply substitute the all-purpose flour with your favorite cup-for-cup gluten-free flour blend. The results will be nearly identical, and your gluten-sensitive guests will thank you.

Instructions

Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375° F. Place the cubed butter into a 9×13 inch baking dish and put the dish in the oven until the butter melts, approximately 10 minutes.
Prepare the batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, 3/4 cup of the brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Add the milk and vanilla, then stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Prepare the peaches: In another bowl, toss the peach wedges with the remaining 1/4 cup of the brown sugar and the maple syrup until they are evenly coated.
Layer the ingredients: Spread half of the peaches over the melted butter in the baking dish. Pour the prepared batter over the peaches. Do not stir. Then, arrange the remaining peaches on top of the batter.
Bake the cobbler: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 50-55 minutes, or until the center is just set and the edges begin to brown.
Make the maple butter: In a small pan, combine the butter and maple syrup. Bring the mixture to a boil for about 2 minutes, then remove it from the heat.
Serve: Serve the cobbler warm or at room temperature, drizzled with the prepared maple butter and optionally topped with a scoop of ice cream.
