A quick and easy skillet peach cobbler with a sweet, buttery brown sugar biscuit topping that comes together in under 40 minutes, perfect for last-minute dessert cravings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 5–6 cups peeled and sliced fresh peaches or frozen peach slices (thawed)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (100g)
  • 1/3 cup packed brown sugar (65g), preferably dark brown sugar
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (125g) or almond flour for gluten-free option
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter (85g), cut into cubes
  • 1/3 cup milk (80ml), whole milk preferred or dairy-free alternative
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large bowl, toss the sliced peaches with granulated sugar and cinnamon (if using). Let them sit while you prepare the topping.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the cold butter cubes and cut them into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces.
  3. Stir in the milk and vanilla extract just until combined. Be careful not to overmix — the dough should be a little shaggy and sticky, not smooth.
  4. Pour the peach mixture evenly into your preheated cast-iron skillet. Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough over the peaches, covering as much surface as possible but leaving some gaps for steam to escape.
  5. Place the skillet in the oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is golden brown and cooked through, and the peach filling is bubbly around the edges.
  6. Let the cobbler rest for about 10 minutes before serving to allow the juices to thicken.

Notes

If the biscuit topping browns too quickly, tent the skillet loosely with foil. For watery peaches, add 1 teaspoon cornstarch to the peach mixture before baking. Keep butter cold and do not overmix the dough for a tender, flaky topping. Preheat the skillet slightly before adding peaches for better caramelization. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days and can be reheated in microwave or oven.
