Notes
This cobbler pairs wonderfully with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream on top. You can add chopped nuts or chocolate chips for extra texture and flavor. If you like a bit of spice, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon to the mix. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave to enjoy warm again.
