What is the best way to peel peaches?
Let’s start with the basics! The best way to peel fresh peaches is with a paring knife. Hold the peach in your non-dominant hand while using the other hand to slice the peach in half. Remove and discard the core and skin. When preparing peaches for homemade peach cobblers or other peach dessert recipes, slice the peaches into one-inch pieces. This allows the peaches to cook evenly in peach cobbler recipes.

Can you freeze Peach cobbler?
Homemade peach cobbler can be frozen once fully cooled in either individual servings or as a whole cobbler.
To freeze individual servings of this peach dessert recipe, use freezer-safe Tupperware or glass storage containers. Release as much air as possible from the container before sealing to minimize freezer burn. These personal-sized cobblers will last for up to three months in the freezer. A fully cooked whole Old-Fashioned Peach Cobbler can be frozen in a foil pan wrapped in two layers each of plastic wrap and tin foil. Always write the date and name of the dessert on the foil.
Believe me, you might think you will remember what is in that pan, but you won’t! A whole cobbler that has been properly wrapped will be fresh when stored in the freezer for up to three months.
Serving suggestions for Peach Cobbler
This peach dessert is perfect as it is, but it can also be dressed up with a scoop of vanilla ice cream! My family loves it when I serve a warm slice of cobbler with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream on top. To take it one step further, add a drizzle of warm caramel sauce. Peach cobbler à la mode is guaranteed to be a hit!
