  3. Sharyl says:

    Is this supposed to be wiggly when you cook it in the oven? I cooked it 45 minutes using canned peaches.

    1. Lil'Luna Team says:

      It is just a little. I would just add a min at a time & keep an eye on it.

  4. Monique Barrett says:

    Hi-

    If I wanted to make this into indiviual cobblers (ramekin), how would I break this down?
    How much butter per ramekin and is the baking time the same?

    Thank you.

    1. Lil'Luna Team says:

      I haven’t made this in individual portions, but that sounds so fun! I think it would depend on how many ramekins you are dividing it into. The baking time would be reduced since it would be in a smaller portion. I’d start with 10-15 minutes and then check for keep an eye on them. They’ll be done when the top is a nice, golden brown.
