Storage and reheating tips
Got leftovers? Keep your Snickerdoodle Cobbler fresh by storing it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. If you want to prolong its shelf life, pop it in the fridge, where it can last for up to a week. To reheat, simply warm slices in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds, or place it in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes until warmed through.
Helpful cooking tips
To make your Snickerdoodle Cobbler even more delightful, here are a few handy tips:
