Ingredients

Scale
  • 4–5 medium fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (about 4 cups) or 4 cups canned peaches, drained
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1/4 cup whole milk (room temperature; can substitute almond or oat milk)
  • Optional: handful of chopped pecans or walnuts

Instructions

  1. Prepare the peaches by peeling and slicing 4-5 medium peaches or using drained canned peaches. Place in a medium bowl.
  2. Add 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup packed brown sugar, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the peaches. Toss gently to combine and let sit for about 10 minutes.
  3. In a separate large bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  4. Stir in 1/2 cup melted butter and 1/4 cup whole milk until just combined, being careful not to overmix. The batter should be thick but spoonable.
  5. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) or prepare campfire with hot coals.
  6. Pour the peach mixture evenly into a 10-inch cast iron skillet.
  7. Spoon the batter over the peaches in dollops, spreading lightly but leaving some peach juices visible.
  8. Bake in the oven for 35-40 minutes until the topping is golden brown and bubbling, or cook over campfire hot coals for 30-40 minutes, rotating occasionally to avoid burning.
  9. Let the cobbler rest for 10 minutes before serving to allow juices to thicken.
  10. Serve warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

If peaches are not in season, frozen sliced peaches can be thawed and drained before use. To prevent topping from burning over a campfire, tent loosely with foil and rotate skillet every 10-15 minutes. Let cobbler rest 10 minutes before serving for best texture. For gluten-free, substitute all-purpose flour with gluten-free baking blend. For vegan version, replace butter with coconut oil and milk with plant-based milk.
