Fresh Peach Cobbler, A Favorite Summer Dessert
I know I can’t be the only person who looks forward to fresh peach season every summer! If you live in a place where it is always peach season, I want to be you!! I can’t ever get enough of this sweet fruit, it is so good on its own, but we also love using it for simple treats like this peach cobbler or even these Skillet Caramelized Peaches
This peach cobbler recipe comes together in just a few minutes and bakes up sweet and delicious. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce for an easy dessert.
Baking in a cast iron skillet gives the cake a beautiful crisp outer crust while still keeping the center nice and soft.
Skillet Peach Cobbler Ingredients
The ingredients for peach cobbler skillet dessert are all items you probably already have in your home kitchen, besides the fresh peaches. For this simple dessert recipe you will be using:
- butter– I always like to bake with unsalted butter, then I can adjust the salt flavor as needed
- sugar
- milk– I like to use 2% or whole milk for this recipe
- flour– just good old all purpose flour
- baking powder
- cinnamon
- vanilla
- salt
- fresh peaches– yellow peaches work best for baking
How to make Peach Cobbler
I like to make this peach cobbler recipe right in my 12 inch cast iron skillet. This can also be made in a saucepan and then poured into a 9 x 13 inch baking dish before it is baked in the oven.
Make the Cobbler Batter
- Melt the Butter– Start with your pan over medium heat and add in the butter. Stir until it is fully melted. Add in the sugar and stir until the sugar starts to dissolve in the butter.
- Add the Liquids-You can just mix the whole cake batter right in the pan. After the sugar has been mixed with the butter, add in milk and vanilla and stir to combine.
- Mix in the Dry Ingredients-Next, mix in the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt and stir to combine. It’s okay if there are a few lumps in the batter.
- Top with Sliced Peaches-Lastly, slice the yellow peaches and layer on top of the cake batter.
- Bake-in a 375º F oven for 35-40 minutes. Until the cake is golden on top.
What to do with Leftover Cobbler
Cobbler is always best eaten fresh hot out of the oven, but I’ll be honest, it’s delicious for breakfast the next day too!
Allow the cobbler to cool and transfer to an air tight container, and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. I don’t recommend storing in your cast iron skillet.
To reheat the cobbler, scoop out the portion you would like to a separate bowl and microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute.
If you need to reheat the whole pan, place into a 375º F oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, until heated through.
