The best Peach Cobbler in a Skillet
I’m dreaming of having a peach tree right now. I had one where I grew up as a kid, and NOTHING compares to a ripe peach, right off of the tree. And nothing compares with this Perfect Peach Cobbler Recipe!
It’s that time of year again, when people post the pics of their peach trees nearly falling over with ripe peaches. Which means it’s also peach cobbler season… and peaches and cream… and peaches and ice cream… and peaches for breakfast, lunch and dinner… and canning time.
Individual peach cobblers vs a large peach cobbler in a skillet
I’m not kidding you when I say, THIS IS THE BEST COBBLER TOPPING RECIPE OUT THERE!. Not only is it the best, it’s also really easy!! And it’s such a classic peach cobbler, it really can’t be beat!
There are 2 different ways to make this easy peach cobbler recipe…
- Make it in individual ramekins or individual cast iron skillets
- Make it in a large 10″ or 11″ cast iron skillet
If you don’t have any of these options, you can go ahead and use an 8X8 in baking pan and it will turn out just great. I’ve done all of these before, well because I love peach cobbler… and I have a large family… and we had some friends over… and did I mention I love peach cobbler?
I think everyone needs to have one really nice cast iron skillet in their kitchen repertoire it’s important!
Here are the some of the bakeware I recommend using in this recipe, depending on your preference…
How to make cast iron skillet peach cobbler from scratch
Peel the skin off 8 med sized peaches, cut them up into bite-size pieces or slices. Add the peaches to a bowl and mix in the sugar. You can add more sugar or take some away depending if the peaches are super sweet or not.
Allow the peaches to macerate while you prepare the topping. The sugar will draw out the juice of the peaches and the peaches will soften as it sits in the sugar.
With an electric mixer, mix together all of the ingredients for the topping.
Go ahead and take your prepared cast iron skillet and fill it with the easy peach cobbler filling. I went ahead and lightly greased my skillet, although I don’t think I needed to since my pan is well seasoned
Now spoon the batter over the top of the peaches. It may not cover the whole thing, and you don’t have to smooth it you. It will rise substantially while it bakes.
Put the cobbler in the oven at 375 and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until it is golden brown on top. The peaches will be bubbling and delicious. Serve it warm with vanilla ice-cream and you will have some happy guests!
