Print Recipe

A warm and comforting skillet peach cobbler featuring juicy peaches and a buttery brown sugar biscuit topping that caramelizes perfectly for a tender, crisp dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 5–6 medium ripe peaches, peeled and sliced
  • ½ cup packed brown sugar
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • ½ cup whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Let the skillet warm slightly while you prep the filling and topping.
  2. Peel and slice 5-6 ripe peaches, aiming for about 5 cups of sliced fruit. Toss them gently with ¼ cup granulated sugar, ½ cup brown sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Let this sit for 10 minutes so the peaches release some juice and the flavors meld.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ½ cup brown sugar. Cut in 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Pour in ½ cup whole milk and gently stir just until combined. Don’t overmix—some lumps are okay. The batter should be thick but spreadable.
  5. Pour the peach filling into the preheated skillet, spreading evenly. Dollop the biscuit topping over the peaches using a spoon or small ice cream scoop, spacing pieces evenly but not covering every inch.
  6. Place the skillet in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes until the biscuit topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling. Tent loosely with foil during the last 10 minutes if the topping browns too fast.
  7. Remove the skillet from the oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes to allow the juices to thicken. Serve warm, ideally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

Use ripe but firm peaches to avoid watery cobbler. Let peach mixture sit before baking to develop syrupy sauce. Keep butter cold for tender biscuit topping. If topping browns too fast, tent with foil. For gluten-free, substitute flour with gluten-free blend; for dairy-free, use plant-based milk and vegan butter.
