When I was thinking up desserts for this month’s Cooking with Astrology meal, this old-fashioned Peach Cobbler popped into my head. Then I realized that the ice cream would be difficult to transport for a picnic, and I went with Texas Sheet Cake instead. That was a wise decision! The Texas Sheet Cake is incredibly delicious, and I also got to make this Peach Cobbler. Win Win…..
I actually made this Peach Cobbler twice last weekend. The first time, I made it in a 2 quart baking dish…..
But it didn’t look so pretty in the baking dish once it had cooled. 🙁 Let’s try this again, using a cast-iron skillet…..
Now that looks like a real Peach Cobbler, and you won’t believe how easy it is to make!!
How to make Peach Cobbler:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place your sliced peaches {I peeled mine because I HATE skin} into a large bowl and sprinkle with 1/2 cup granulated sugar. Stir to thoroughly coat the peaches with the sugar and set aside…..
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, 3/4 cup sugar*, baking powder, salt, and milk, and set aside…..
Melt 1/2 cup {1 stick} of unsalted butter in a cast iron skillet…..
Pour the batter over the melted butter – do not stir!
Now very carefully spoon the peaches over the batter – do not stir!
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until crust is lightly browned and puffy…..
Allow to cool slightly and serve with Vanilla Ice Cream…..
Or fresh whipped cream…..
This second image is of the first cobbler that was made in the 2 quart baking dish. It took 70 minutes to bake, and the crust was thicker…and also sweeter!!
I used the traditional 1 cup of sugar* in the first batch, and found it to be very sweet! It reminded me of a super, soft sugar cookie that was baked with sugar on top. The second batch with 3/4 cup of sugar, is more like a sugar cookie without the sugar on top. Does that make any sense? 😉 I hope so. They were both delicious, so the choice is yours.

Wow this looks fantastic! I love that you can make it in the skillet. I got a skillet for my birthday and I haven’t used it yet – perhaps this will be my first recipe!
Ahhhh… peach cobbler, I love you so. I think they both look amazing and bet they BOTH need to be in mah belly right now!! Pinned!
Absolutely delightful. Blessings, Catherine
Yummy! I’m trying to decide what I want to make for dessert this week. I’m thinking little mini pies. I hope your having a great Tuesday!
Hi Lisa, just stopped by to let you know you’ve been featured today over at Carole’s Chatter. Cheers
Thank you so much Carole!! 🙂
One of the best desserts – ever! Looks great, Lisa! I might need to make some before peaches go out of season!
Thank you sooo much Jamie! I think I need to make it again too. Obviously twice in one weekend was not enough. 😉
The cast iron skillet was a great idea (I need one of those!) and this cobbler looks awesome, Lisa!!!
What??? You must go get one Cathy, they have so many fun uses! Thanks so much. 🙂
Yum, I can’t get enough of peaches and love that you made peach cobbler! It looks fantastic and baking it in the skillet was such a great idea Lisa! Pinning 🙂
Thank you so much Kelly!!
This looks really good! My husband loves peaches… and this would be a hit w/ the whole family. 🙂
I’m pretty sure cast iron skillets make everything better! haha! Kidding.
This looks great Lisa! And I’m going to pin it to my easy skillet recipe board.
I might have a thing for skillets. Shhh 🙂
Thank you so much Kelley! I think cast iron skillets are one of the greatest inventions! I just bought some baby ones and need to figure out what to make in them. I’ll go check out your board for ideas. 🙂
Your peach cobbler looks so good! I’m going to miss all the fresh peaches that the summer brings with it! This looks wonderful!
Thank you so much Maria!! I will miss the peaches as well, but it gives us something to look forward to. 😉
Looks so good! Thanks for sharing at the #InspirationSpotlight party. Shared See you again soon.
Oh yummy! Can I please have some? 😀
Looks yummy! Can I ask what size skillet you used?
Hi Crystal, it is a 10-inch skillet. 🙂
Hi Lisa,
What if I used peaches in a can? How do you think it’ll come out?
Hi Amy, I would assume that canned peaches would work. The will be softer than fresh, because they start out softer…and I would definitely drain them! They will also be sweeter if they are packed in sugar, so you might want to adjust the sweetness of the topping. Good luck. 🙂
Can another type of skillet be used? As I do not have cast Iron.
I would assume a different type of skillet would work Joanne, I have also used a baking dish in the past. 🙂
Trying it for my husband’s Birhtday
