Skillet Peach Cobbler

Skillet Peach Cobbler is a classic Southern summer dessert that can be made in about an hours time with fresh peaches and a few pantry ingredients.

My Skillet Peach Cobbler recipe will turn even a non-peach lover into loving peaches! As a kid growing up I thought peaches were nasty. Yes, you read that correctly. I really only knew about canned peaches.

I just started eating peaches over the past few years. My husband was the one who turned me on to the fruit. Year after year as peach seasons would come and go he would gobble up dozens and dozens of peaches, and year after year I would continue to turn my back towards them. I think I finally gave them a try after I had my ah-ha moment with mangos. Naturally the first thing I made to really embrace peaches was this Cast Iron Peach Cobbler. Then I created different versions of peach cobbler like my old fashion peach cobbler and my slow cooker peach cobbler recipe.

Last year, we visited Lane Southern Orchards and brought home a ridiculous amount of peaches. I cooked all sorts of peach recipes. The one recipe I never got to share was a peach cobbler recipe that I had made multiple times for family and friends. It got gobbled up before I could ever get a photo and lets also set the record straight. Peach cobbler is not the most beautiful thing to photograph. To eat, yes! To photograph–not so much.

Directions

First, preheat the oven to 350°F then it’s time to work on both the filling and the topping otherwise known as the cake!

For the Filling:

Combine the peeled sliced peaches with 1 cup of sugar, ¼ cup of water, and ⅛ tsp cinnamon in a skillet. Bring to a boil and simmer for about 10 minutes (mix well often). Remove the skillet from the heat and pour the peaches in a bowl until ready to be used.

For the Topping:

In the skillet, melt the 4 tablespoons of butter on medium heat. While the butter is melting in a bowl combine the self-rising flour, 1 cup of sugar, milk, and ¼tsp salt.

Mix well then pour into the butter mixture in the skillet. Carefully add peaches and liquid to the top.

Bake for 40 minutes or until golden brown and batter is set. Serve warm and with whipped cream or ice cream if desired!

Tips & Tricks

Here are a few of my favorite tips and tricks whenever I make cast iron skillet peach cobbler.

• Peaches – 5 peaches yields about 4 cups of peaches.
• Self Rising Flour – If you don’t have self rising flour you can mix 1 cup of All Purpose Flour with ¼ teaspoon salt and 1-¼ teaspoons baking powder. Mix together, sift until fine and light, and the use for cobbler.
• Cast Iron Skillet – I like to use a Le Creuset Cast Iron Skillet.
