Notes
You can substitute 8 pitted, peeled, and sliced fresh peaches for the frozen peaches. The fruit might not be quite as thick.
If the cobbler dough seems too thick, add a tablespoon or two of cream to achieve a sticky drop biscuit consistency.
Once cooled completely, you can store in the fridge up to 5 days.
To make dairy free: use Melt or another high-quality vegan butter. For biscuits, use Better Batter, King Arthur Measure for Measure, or Bob’s Red Mill 1:1 plus coconut cream (refrigerate overnight to collect only the solid portion. Melt before adding to biscuit dough) You might need to add a little extra coconut cream depending on the flour you use. Serve with dairy free ice cream or vegan whipped cream.
