Notes

Storage & Make Ahead

  • Store: Cover and store your cooled cobbler at room temperature for up to 1 day or in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Freeze: Wrap the cobbler tightly and freeze it for up to 3 months. Thaw it overnight in the fridge before reheating.
  • Reheat: Warm the cobbler in a 300°F oven for 10-15 minutes, or microwave individual portions for 30 seconds.
  • Make Ahead: You can make the filling and biscuit dough ahead of time. Store them separately, then assemble and bake when you’re ready for dessert.
