Top Tips for Perfecting Easy Peach and Raspberry Cobbler

3. Butter Temperature: Ensure the butter is melted but not hot when combining with the dry ingredients. This helps achieve a perfect texture!
4. Baking Time: Keep an eye on the cobbler as it bakes. Oven temperatures can vary, so sending a toothpick into the center to check for doneness is always a good idea.
5. Texture Variations: Try adding oats or nuts to the topping for an extra crunch or a delightful combination of flavors.
