Can I use peaches instead of nectarines for this cobbler?

Yes, you can easily substitute peaches for nectarines in this recipe. Both fruits have similar textures and flavors, so the cobbler will turn out just as delicious with peaches. You can also use other stone fruits like plums or apricots for a unique twist on the classic recipe.

Can I make this cobbler with frozen nectarines?

Absolutely! You can use frozen, thawed nectarines for this cobbler. Just make sure to drain any excess liquid from the thawed fruit to prevent the cobbler from becoming too soggy. The recipe will still work wonderfully with frozen fruit.

How do I store leftovers?

Store any leftover Cinnamon Sugar Nectarine Cobbler in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. If you'd like to keep it longer, refrigerate it for up to a week. To reheat, simply place it in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes until warmed through.
