A quick and simple skillet peach cobbler with a buttery brown sugar crumble topping, perfect for summer evenings and made with pantry staples.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 56 medium fresh peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (light or dark)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Peel, pit, and slice 5 to 6 medium peaches into about 1/2-inch thick slices. Toss them in a bowl with 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon flour. Let sit for 10 minutes.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, and a pinch of salt.
  4. Pour in 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter and stir until the mixture forms coarse crumbs.
  5. Pour the peach mixture into an oven-safe skillet, spreading evenly. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the peaches without pressing down.
  6. Bake for 35-40 minutes until the topping is golden brown and peaches are bubbly. If topping browns too quickly, tent with foil halfway through baking.
  7. Let the cobbler rest for about 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

If peaches are extra juicy, add an additional tablespoon of flour or cornstarch to the fruit mixture to prevent a runny filling. Use room-temperature butter for the crumble to achieve a perfect crumbly texture. Tent with foil if topping browns too quickly. Let cobbler rest after baking to thicken juices. Frozen peaches can be used if thawed and drained. For gluten-free, substitute almond flour for regular flour. For dairy-free, use coconut oil or vegan butter.
