Fresh peach cobbler is one of those desserts that tastes like pure summertime. While you can make it in the off-season with frozen peaches, if you know how to choose the right peaches at the market, there’s nothing as sweet or satisfying as a warm dish of a fresh peach dessert. (The scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side is technically optional, but why would you ever want to skip that?)
Most cobbler recipes make a big batch, and that’s not a bad thing! You’re going through the effort to slice up all that fruit, plus you want to make the most out of peach season anyway. But that could mean leftovers. The best way to store leftover peach cobbler is to let it cool completely, then cover it with aluminum foil, and stash it in the fridge for up to three days.
When you’re ready to have another serving, you should know how to reheat peach cobbler so it tastes like you just baked it. It will taste good cold, of course, but cobblers just taste better warm, don’t they? The good news is the best way to reheat peach cobbler is as easy as can be, whether you’re reheating the whole batch or a single serving. Now fingers crossed that there’s still ice cream in the freezer to go with it!
The Best Way to Reheat Peach Cobbler
The best way to reheat peach cobbler so it tastes freshly baked from the oven is to pop it back in the oven! Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and take the cobbler out of the refrigerator but keep the foil on. When the oven is ready, bake the foil-wrapped cobbler for ten minutes. Remove the foil to let the topping crisp up again for another five to ten minutes. When the filling is bubbling a bit, it is ready.
This method is best when you want to reheat the whole pan. By the way, you can use the same method to reheat peach crisp and peach crumble, too. Essentially, the oven heats the filling while also helping the top crisp up again. Cobblers, crisps, and crumbles will all start to get soggy from the natural moisture in the fruit, so the oven helps to bring them back to life.
How to Reheat Peach Cobbler Quickly
You can also reheat the peach cobbler in the microwave! Keep in mind this method is fast, but the topping won’t be as freshly crisped up. It is best for single servings so it spends less time in the microwave. Place a serving in a microwave-safe bowl. Cover it with a damp paper towel and heat it for 45 to 60 seconds at 50 percent power. Check the center. If it needs more time, microwave it in ten-second bursts until it reaches your desired warmth.
