Cast Iron Peach Cobbler

Hey there, fellow peach lovers! Are you ready to dive fork-first into the delightful world of Peach Cobbler? I know I am. Let’s go!🍑

We’re not talking cobblers as in those guy’s that make fancy shoes. I don’t cook shoes in my kitchen. Right now we’re talking about the cobbler and some juicy, sun-kissed peaches. Paired with some vanilla ice cream or even just alone, this recipe is already making my mouth water.

This isn’t just any ordinary recipe. Nope, it’s a cast iron sensation! That’s right, we’re whipping out the trusty ol’ cast iron pan for this adventure. It’s like cooking in a magic cauldron, but instead of potions, we’re conjuring up sweet, gooey, peachy perfection.

Now, let’s talk strategy. We’ve got a secret weapon: a buttery topping that’s like a fluffy cloud of deliciousness.

Kids making Peach Cobbler? YES!

Here’s the best part of this recipe. You can turn it into a mission for the whole family! Get those little sous-chefs-in-training involved. I have my oldest slice the peaches as I trust her a little more with a sharp knife. My youngest loves helping out with measuring and it’s a fine-motor control skill which is just a bonus. Mixing everything up is also an easy but fun job for your little chefs in training. Plus, they get to lick the spoon.

Direct them where you need, step in if you have to, and watch the magic happen. Dessert especially should be a fun recipe to help put together.

So, gear up, put aprons on if you have them, and let’s get peachy! And remember, if a sprinkle of silliness finds its way into your cooking, all the better! After all, the best recipes are made with a dash of fun and a sprinkle of imagination. Let’s get cobblerin’!

Servings 8 people

Equipment

• 1 Cast iron pan (not a skillet)

Ingredients

  

Peach Filing

• 8 whole peaches ripe but firm and sliced
• 1/4 cup bourbon or juice of 1 lemon
• 1/2 cup light brown sugar packed
• 1/4 cup white sugar plus a dash for dusting
• 2 tbsp corn starch
• 2 tsp ceylon cinnamon plus a dash for dusting
• nutmeg just a pinch

Cobbler Topping

• 1 1/4 cup all purpose white flour
• 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp Kosher salt
• 12 tbsp unsalted butter placed in the freezer to firm
• 2/3 cup whole fat milk set out to take off chill
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

 

• Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
• Slice the peaches in half and discard the pit. Cut the peaches into ½-inch thick slices and place in the 10-inch cast-iron skillet.
• Pour the bourbon (or the lemon juice) over the top of the peaches, then sprinkle the remaining filling ingredients (sugars, cornstarch and cinnamon) over the top. Cook on medium heat, stirring frequently to make sure the sugars do not burn, until syrupy (4-5 minutes).
• While you are stirring that mixture, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
• Slice the cold butter into thin slices and add to the flour mixture. Crumble in the butter using your hands, until the flour becomes fine crumbs.
• Now make a well in the middle of the flour and pour in the milk and vanilla. Mix until the flour is fully incorporated with the liquids.
• Using a tablespoon, drop large scoops of the batter directly into the cast iron pan over the top of the peaches. Lightly dust the top with sugar and cinnamon.
• Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown. Cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

The cobbler can be stored covered and at room temperature for 2 days, or in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
