Ingredients

Scale
  • 4–5 medium fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (about 4 cups)
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • ½ cup milk (whole or 2%)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Vanilla ice cream, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Peel and slice 4-5 ripe peaches (about 4 cups). Toss them in a bowl with ½ cup of brown sugar, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and ½ teaspoon cinnamon if using. Set aside to macerate.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ½ cup brown sugar.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix 6 tablespoons melted unsalted butter, ½ cup milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir gently until combined. The batter will be thick but pourable.
  6. Pour the batter evenly into the preheated cast iron skillet.
  7. Spoon the peach mixture evenly over the batter, pouring the juices on top as well. Do not stir.
  8. Bake for 35-40 minutes until the crust is golden-brown with bubbly edges and the center is set but moist. Tent with foil if browning too quickly.
  9. Let the cobbler cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.
  10. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Notes

Preheat the cast iron skillet before adding batter to create a crispy crust. If peaches are very juicy, drain excess liquid to avoid soggy bottom. A light dusting of cinnamon in the batter adds warmth. Tent with foil if crust browns too fast. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheat best in the oven.
