Frequently asked questions (FAQ's)
For this recipe, they are not the same. A pie filling usually has sugar and cornstarch added, and for this recipe, we are just using canned peaches in syrup.
A cobbler typically has a buttery biscuit-like top, while a crumble has an oat, butter, and sugar topping.
Deb's tips for the perfect dish
When you are grating the butter, make sure to cover the entire top of the cake mix with pieces of butter, so that there are no dry spots in your cobbler topping when it's finished baking.
- If you want to use fresh peaches, you will need to slice them first, squeeze with fresh lemon and then allow them to sit in sugar to make their own syrup, before using them in the cobbler.
- You can also use frozen peaches. Be sure to thaw them first. Sprinkle with a couple tablespoons of sugar and allow them to sit and get juicy.
- Our favorite way to eat this peach cobbler dump cake is with a scoop of ice cream on top while it's still warm! So, yummy!
