Notes
How to peel peaches: If you've ever tried to peel a peach with a standard veggie peeler, you know it can be messy, and most of the time you end up losing a lot of the peach "meat" in the process. Doing a quick blanch of your peaches will make them so much easier to peel!
How to store: Most cobblers are best if they are eaten the same day they are made, but any leftovers you have can be stored covered on the kitchen counter for up to three days.
Freezing: Yep! You can bake the cobbler as written and allow it to cool completely, then wrap tightly in both plastic wrap and foil and store in the freezer for up to three months. Allow to thaw partially in the refrigerator (about 1-2 hours) and then warm the cobbler in a 350 degree oven for about 30 minutes, or until cooked through and bubbly.
