Notes
- If you'd like to add additional liquid to the cobbler, use 1 cup of peach nectar. Peach nectar is a tropical fruit drink and it comes in a can that resembles soda. It's inexpensive and adds delightful flavor to this cobbler. It's typically located on the Hispanic foods aisle in most grocery stores, including Walmart. (Brand: Jumex)
- If you'd like to add crunch without using the optional topping, any toasted nuts such as almonds, pecans or walnuts sprinkled on top will work.
