Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 4–5 ripe, juicy fresh peaches (peeled and sliced)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Topping

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free version)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or almond/oat milk for vegan)
  • 1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) melted butter (or coconut oil/vegan butter for vegan)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Peach Filling: Peel, slice, and toss the peaches with sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a bowl. Let the mixture sit for a few minutes to release juices and blend flavors.
  2. Preheat the Cast Iron Skillet: Place the skillet in the oven and preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Heating the pan ensures the crust gets perfectly crispy when baked.
  3. Make the Batter: In a separate bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk in milk and melted butter until the batter is smooth and lump-free.
  4. Assemble and Bake: Remove the hot skillet from the oven carefully. Spoon the peach filling evenly into the skillet, then pour the batter over the peaches. Return the skillet to the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes until the crust is golden and the peach filling is bubbling.
  5. Cool and Serve: Allow the cobbler to cool for 10-15 minutes to let the filling thicken slightly. Serve warm with optional vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or fresh mint garnish.

Notes

  • Use ripe, juicy peaches for the best sweetness and flavor.
  • Preheating the cast iron skillet is key to achieving a crispy crust.
  • Adjust sugar based on the natural sweetness of your peaches.
  • Pour the batter slowly and evenly to avoid clumps and ensure uniform baking.
  • Let the cobbler rest before serving to improve texture and meld flavors.
