Ingredients

Scale
  • 4–5 medium fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (100 grams)
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar (50 grams)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (120 grams)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces (113 grams)
  • 1/2 cup milk (whole or 2%) (120 ml)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Peel and slice 4-5 medium peaches into 1/2-inch thick slices. Toss peaches with 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Set aside for 10 minutes to macerate.
  2. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the 10-inch cast iron skillet in the oven for 5 minutes to warm.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 cup packed brown sugar. Add 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter pieces and blend with fingers or pastry cutter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Stir in 1/2 cup milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract gently until just combined; do not overmix.
  5. Remove hot skillet from oven. Spread peach mixture evenly across the bottom, including juices. Dollop batter over peaches in spoonfuls and gently spread to cover most of the fruit.
  6. Bake in oven for 35-40 minutes until topping is golden brown and peach filling is bubbly.
  7. Let cobbler rest for 10 minutes before serving to thicken filling.

Notes

Macerate peaches for 10 minutes to release juices and enhance flavor. Use cold butter to create a flaky, crisp topping. Warm the skillet before assembling to jumpstart crust crisping. If topping browns too fast, tent with foil for last 10 minutes. Best served warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. Refrigerate leftovers up to 3 days and reheat in oven at 325°F for 10-15 minutes; avoid microwaving to keep crust crisp.
