A quick and easy skillet peach cobbler with a buttery brown sugar biscuit topping that delivers cozy comfort and crowd-pleasing flavor in under 40 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (about 4–5 medium peaches)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (adjust depending on peach sweetness)
  • 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons light brown sugar (packed)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and diced
  • 1/3 cup whole milk (or buttermilk)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine peaches, granulated sugar, brown sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and cornstarch. Toss gently and let sit for 5-10 minutes.
  3. Pour the peach mixture into a greased 10-inch cast iron skillet, spreading evenly.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Cut cold diced butter into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or fingers until coarse crumbs form.
  6. Add milk and stir gently just until combined; dough will be sticky.
  7. Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough over the peach filling, spacing evenly.
  8. Bake on the middle rack for 30-35 minutes until biscuit topping is golden and peach filling is bubbly.
  9. Let cobbler rest for about 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use cold butter for flaky biscuit topping. If topping browns too fast, tent with foil for last 10 minutes. For gluten-free, substitute flour with gluten-free blend. For dairy-free, use coconut oil and almond or oat milk. Let cobbler rest 10 minutes before serving to set filling. Store leftovers covered in fridge up to 3 days; reheat in oven to maintain topping crispness.
