What's the best way to prepare peaches peeled or unpeeled for cobbler?

Yes, for the smoothest texture in your Instant Pot Peach Cobbler , it's best to peel the peaches. Blanching them for 30 seconds in boiling water and then plunging into an ice bath makes the skin easy to remove. However, if you’re short on time or prefer a rustic feel, you can leave the skins on just slice thinly.

Is cobbler the same as crumble?

Not exactly. While both are baked fruit desserts , cobbler has a biscuit-like or cake -style topping, whereas a crumble is topped with a streusel mixture of flour, butter, and sugar. For Instant Pot Peach Cobbler , the moist environment favors a softer, fluffier topping compared to a crispy crumble.

What is the topping made of?

The topping can be made from a simple cake mix or a homemade blend of flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and butter. In the Instant Pot, this forms a soft, slightly dense layer that contrasts beautifully with the juicy peach filling.

Why isn’t my peach cobbler crispy?

Due to the steam-based cooking method in pressure cookers, your Instant Pot Peach Cobbler won’t develop a crispy top on its own. To achieve a golden finish, transfer it to an oven-safe dish and broil it for 2–3 minutes after cooking.
