Can I use canned peaches in this recipe?

Yes! Just drain them well (reserve a bit of juice) and follow the filling instructions. Adjust sugar based on how sweet the canned peaches are.

What’s the best way to peel peaches quickly?

Score an “X” on the bottom of each peach, then blanch in boiling water for 30 seconds. Transfer to an ice bath, and the skins will slide off.

Can I use frozen peaches?

Absolutely. Thaw them first and pat dry to remove excess moisture. Toss with cornstarch to help thicken the filling during baking.

What’s the difference between cobbler and crumble?

Cobbler has a biscuit cake-like topping. Crumble uses a buttery streusel (sometimes with oats). Both are delicious, but cobbler is a bit more rustic.
