Ingredients

Scale

For the Peach Filling

  • 4–5 ripe fresh peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced (about 4 cups)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)

For the Biscuit Topping

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces (or vegan butter/coconut oil for dairy-free)
  • 1/3 cup milk (or plant-based milk for vegan)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Peaches: Peel, pit, and slice the fresh peaches if using fresh. Toss them with 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg. Let the mixture sit while you make the crust to allow flavors to meld.
  2. Make the Biscuit Batter: In a bowl, combine 1 cup flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 cup sugar. Cut in 1/4 cup chilled butter using a pastry cutter or fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in 1/3 cup milk gently until a thick but pourable batter forms.
  3. Assemble in the Skillet: Butter a 10 to 12-inch cast iron or oven-safe skillet. Pour the peach mixture evenly into the skillet. Spoon dollops of the biscuit batter on top, leaving some peaches visible for a rustic appearance.
  4. Bake Until Golden: Bake the cobbler in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and peach juices are bubbling around the edges.
  5. Cool and Serve: Allow the cobbler to cool for about 10 minutes so the juices thicken. Serve warm, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

  • Use ripe, juicy peaches for the best flavor.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the topping tender and light.
  • A cast iron skillet helps distribute heat evenly and adds rustic charm.
  • Cut peach slices evenly to ensure uniform cooking.
  • Letting the cobbler rest after baking thickens the filling and makes serving easier.
  • Frozen peaches can be used after thawing and draining excess liquid.
  • For a gluten-free option, substitute the flour with a gluten-free blend.
  • To make this recipe vegan, use plant-based milk and vegan butter or coconut oil instead of dairy.
