A simple, cozy peach cobbler made in a cast iron skillet with a crispy crust and juicy fruit filling, perfect for homemade desserts with minimal fuss.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 5–6 medium fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar (150g)
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar (50g)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (125g)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup milk (whole or 2%) (180ml)
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted (85g)
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp almond extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). If you want a crispy crust, place your cast iron skillet in the oven while it heats.
  2. Peel and slice 5–6 medium peaches into about 1/4-inch thick slices. Toss them in a bowl with 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Let sit while making the batter.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Slowly stir in 3/4 cup milk and 6 tablespoons melted unsalted butter until just combined. Batter will be thick but pourable.
  4. Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven using oven mitts. Pour the batter evenly into the skillet, spreading gently.
  5. Spoon the peach mixture evenly over the batter. Do not stir; the batter will rise around the peaches as it bakes.
  6. Bake for 35–40 minutes until the top is golden brown and peach juices bubble along the edges. A toothpick inserted should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Let the cobbler cool slightly for 10 minutes before serving to thicken and firm up the crust.

Notes

Preheating the cast iron skillet before adding batter helps create a crispier bottom crust. If the crust browns too quickly, loosely cover with foil midway through baking. Peeling peaches improves texture but can be skipped if short on time. Adjust sugar based on peach ripeness. Frozen peaches can be used if thawed and drained.
