Can you use fresh peaches instead of canned pie filling?
Fresh peaches would work but you'd need to add sugar and thickener since the canned pie filling already contains those. Stick with canned for the true simplicity of this recipe.
What temperature should you bake this cobbler?
The recipe does not specify, but cobblers typically bake at 350°F for 30–40 minutes until the filling bubbles at the edges and the cookie topping is golden.
Can you make this ahead of time?
Assemble the cobbler in the baking dish up to a few hours before baking, then pop it in the oven when ready. Do not bake and store; serve warm for the best texture.
What can you substitute for sugar cookie mix?
Snickerdoodle mix, vanilla cake mix, or even crushed vanilla wafers mixed with melted butter work as a topping alternative.
Is this recipe freezer-friendly?
You can freeze the unbaked assembled cobbler for up to 2 months; bake from frozen, adding 10–15 extra minutes to the bake time.
