Tips
- If you don't have fresh peaches, you can use canned peaches instead.
- Make sure to use cold butter and shortening for the pie crust to ensure a flaky crust.
- Don't overmix the dough for the pie crust, as this can make it tough.
- You can also use a lattice crust for the top of the cobbler for a decorative touch.
