What are the most common mistakes when making peach cobbler?

Overmixing the biscuit topping can make it tough instead of tender. Another common mistake is not draining frozen peaches, which makes the cobbler soggy.

How do you know if peach cobbler is ready?

The topping should be golden brown and firm to the touch, while the peach filling should be bubbling around the edges.

Can you use brown sugar in a peach cobbler?

Yes! Brown sugar is perfect here because it adds a rich, caramel-like sweetness that complements the peaches beautifully.

How to keep peach cobbler from getting soggy?

Make sure frozen peaches are thawed and drained well. Also, let the cobbler rest for a few minutes after baking so the filling sets properly.
