    Tips

    When it comes to making this single serving peach cobbler, there are a few tips that can take the dessert from good to great.

    There are a few key things to keep in mind:

    • Use ripe peaches. The fruit should be soft to the touch and slightly fragrant if fresh.
    • Don't make it too sweet. Be light on the sugar because the peaches will add natural sweetness to the dish.
    • Be light with the topping. Don't overdo the flour topping because too much will make the cobbler heavy and dense.
