Instructions
1
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the butter in a 10- or 12-inch cast iron skillet and set the skillet in the oven just until the butter melts.
2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, 1 cup of sugar, baking powder, and salt. Pour in the milk and vanilla, stirring until smooth.
3
Remove the skillet from the oven. Pour the batter evenly over the melted butter – do not stir.
4
In another bowl, gently toss the sliced peaches with 2 tablespoons of sugar (reserved from the total) and cinnamon if using.
5
Spoon the peaches evenly over the batter, covering the surface as much as possible. Again, do not stir.
6
Return the skillet to the oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until the crust rises to the top and turns deep golden brown, and the fruit juices are bubbly.
7
Check for doneness after 35 minutes; the crust should feel firm to the touch and a toothpick inserted into the crust comes out clean.
8
Let the cobbler rest for 10 minutes before serving – this helps the juices set slightly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, you can use canned peaches. Drain them well and reduce the sugar to ¾ cup since the syrup already adds sweetness.
Absolutely. Use a 1-to-1 gluten-free all-purpose flour blend in place of regular flour. The texture will be slightly different but still delicious.
A cobbler has a biscuit or cake-like topping, while a crisp gets a streusel topping made with oats and often nuts. This recipe is a traditional batter-based cobbler.
Cover the skillet or transfer portions to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to restore the crust’s crispness.
Definitely. Blueberries, raspberries, or nectarines pair beautifully with peaches. Use a total of 4 cups mixed fruit and keep the rest of the recipe the same.
