Ingredients

Scale

Fruit and Sweeteners

  • 4 cups fresh ripe peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar (adjust based on peach sweetness)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for GF option)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces (or coconut oil for vegan option)
  • 1/2 cup milk (dairy or almond/oat milk for vegan option)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Peaches: Peel, pit, and slice the fresh peaches into even pieces. Toss them with sugar and cinnamon (if using) in a mixing bowl, allowing the fruit to release some juices while you prepare the batter.
  2. Make the Batter: In another bowl, combine the flour, remaining sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gently stir in the milk until just combined into a thick batter; be careful not to overmix.
  3. Assemble in Skillet: Grease a cast-iron skillet or ovenproof pan. Spread the peach mixture evenly on the bottom, then spoon the batter over the peaches, covering them with a rustic layer of dough.
  4. Bake to Golden Perfection: Place the skillet in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) and bake for 35-40 minutes or until the topping is golden and cooked through. Let it cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Choose ripe peaches for the best natural sweetness and juicy flavor.
  • Avoid overmixing the batter to keep the topping tender and cakey.
  • Using a cast-iron skillet helps distribute heat evenly for a perfectly baked crust and juicy filling.
  • Adjust sugar amount based on the sweetness of your peaches.
  • Let the cobbler rest for 10 minutes after baking to allow the filling to thicken and flavors to meld.
