Preparing the Peaches

Cook Notes and Variations
- Fresh Peaches: If fresh peaches are in season, feel free to use them instead of canned. Simply peel, pit, and slice enough peaches to fill the 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Alcohol-Free Option: If you prefer not to use alcohol, you can omit the Ciroc vodka and increase the amount of lemon juice slightly for added flavor.
- Crumb Topping: For added texture, consider adding a crumb topping made from a mixture of flour, oats, brown sugar, and butter.
- Nuts: Feel free to sprinkle chopped nuts, such as pecans or almonds, over the top of the cobbler before baking for a crunchy twist.
