Print Recipe

A rustic, easy-to-make dessert featuring juicy peaches, a buttery biscuit topping, and a rich caramel drizzle, all baked in a cast iron skillet with a hint of bourbon.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups fresh or frozen peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons bourbon
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream (for caramel)
  • 2 tablespoons butter (for caramel)
  • 1/2 cup sugar (for caramel)
  • A pinch of salt (for caramel)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, toss sliced peaches with granulated sugar, brown sugar, bourbon, lemon juice, cornstarch, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Let sit for 10 minutes.
  3. Pour the peach mixture into a 10-inch cast iron skillet and spread evenly.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Add heavy cream and vanilla extract to the flour mixture. Stir gently until a shaggy, sticky dough forms. Do not knead.
  6. Drop spoonfuls of the dough over the peaches, leaving gaps for juices to bubble up.
  7. Bake for 35-40 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Cover with foil if browning too quickly.
  8. While baking, make the caramel: In a small saucepan, combine cream, butter, and sugar. Heat over medium, stirring constantly, until thickened (3-4 minutes). Remove from heat and add a pinch of salt.
  9. Let the cobbler cool for 10 minutes before serving. Drizzle with warm caramel and serve with vanilla ice cream.

Notes

Use cold butter for a flaky crust. Let peaches rest to draw out juices. If using frozen peaches, thaw slightly and pat dry. The bourbon flavor is subtle but adds warmth. Can be made gluten-free with a 1:1 flour blend or dairy-free with vegan substitutes.
