Frequently Asked Questions
- → Should I peel the peaches?
Peeling is optional and depends on personal preference. The skin softens during baking and adds nice color to the filling.
- → Can I skip the bourbon?
The bourbon is completely optional. It adds depth but isn't essential to the recipe's success.
- → Why rest the cobbler?
Resting allows the filling to thicken and cool slightly. The fruit will be less runny and easier to serve.
- → Can I use frozen peaches?
Fresh peaches work best but frozen can be used. Thaw completely and drain excess liquid before using.
- → How do I know when it's done?
The biscuit top should be golden brown and a tester should come out clean. The filling will be bubbling around edges.
