any ideas for a substitution for almond paste? I’m allergic to nuts. also marzapone wont work either
Hi, mb. For a nut-free substitute, you can use an equal amount of sunflower seed butter.
Should have read Allyssa’s comment first.
Just made this and it is nothing to be served to company. Just way too juicy.
Definitely needs cornstarch to thicken.
Thank you Barbara and Allyssa!! Now I know I'm not crazy! I made this for guests last week and it came out of the oven soupy. It did set up a little after sitting, but not as expected. The dough part was more of a cake consistency, not "cobbler-y". However, everyone said it tasted very good. Several guests went for seconds, so I guess they weren't just being polite! Seems like I was the only one who was not a fan of it!
Make your life simple. Slice peaches, add a spoon or two of flour or cornstarch to thicken the juices if you like (butter also optional) and slap on your favorite crust or crumble. No sugar required if the peaches are sweet and fresh. No need for any spices either. You can always let people sprinkle on their own desired amount of sugar or spices when served. This way you'll actually taste the lovely peaches and have a cobbler/pie that everyone can enjoy.
Great tip, thanks Allyssa!
About how many peaches do you need to make the 4 cups required for this recipe?
When cutting, 1 1/2 pitted peaches equals 1 cup.
Made this for my dad with home made ice cream and it was a big hit! Plus the smell of the nutmeg and cinnamon drifted through the house while it was baking and was wonderful! Reminded me of my childhood home when my mother made cobblers.
This photo is not a 9x13 pan... looks like a bread/loaf pan(?)
