Easy Skillet Peach Cobbler
If you're craving a delicious dessert that showcases the natural sweetness of peaches, look no further than this scrumptious Skillet Peach Cobbler recipe. What sets this recipe apart is the technique of sautéing the peaches before baking, which intensifies their concentrated flavor. We begin by melting butter in a skillet and gently cooking sliced peaches until they become tender and release their juices. The heat caramelizes the natural sugars in the fruit, resulting in a rich and luscious peach filling that will melt in your mouth with every bite.
Tools
- 12-inch oven-safe nonstick Skillet
Ingredients
For the Peach Filling:
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 3 pounds fresh peaches , sliced. Whether or not you remove the skin is up to you.
- 6 tablespoons light brown sugar or granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1-½ teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
For the Cobbler Topping:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 6 tablespoons granulated sugar divided
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 4 tablespoons butter , melted and cooled
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- For the Peach Filling:
- Adjust the oven rack to the middle position and preheat your oven to 425°F. In a1 2 inch nonstick skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the sliced peaches, cinnamon, nutmeg, and light brown sugar. Stir gently to combine. Cook the peaches for about 5-7 minutes or until they are tender and release their juices. Remove the skillet from the heat; set aside. In a small bowl, whisk to combine lemon juice, vanilla, and cornstarch, then stir in the peach filling. Cover the skillet and set aside off heat.
- For the Topping:
- In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon; set aside.
- In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the buttermilk and melted butter. Stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Use your hands to tear off about 1-inch pieces of cobbler topping and space them ½ inch apart on top of the peaches in the skillet. Sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar. Place the skillet in the preheated oven, and bake for about 18 to 22 minutes until the cobbler topping is golden brown and the filling thickens.
- Remove the skillet from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve the Skillet Peach Cobbler warm, either on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
- 👀👉Note: This Skillet Peach Cobbler recipe features a twist by using melted butter in the cobbler topping instead of cold butter. This variation results in a sturdier biscuit texture that stands up to the juicy peaches in the skillet. The melted butter creates a denser and more substantial topping that complements the tender peaches perfectly.
Notes
How to Store & Re-Heat
To store Skillet Peach Cobbler, allow it to cool completely at room temperature. Once cooled, cover the skillet or transfer the cobbler to an airtight container. Store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
When it comes to reheating the cobbler, there are a couple of options:
Instead of baking it immediately, cover the skillet or transfer the assembled cobbler to an airtight container.
Place the cobbler in the refrigerator and store it for up to 24 hours before baking. When you're ready to serve the cobbler: Preheat your oven to the specified temperature in the recipe.
Remove the cobbler from the refrigerator and bake the cobbler according to the recipe instructions, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time if needed to ensure it is heated through and the topping is golden brown. How to Freeze We do not recommend freezing it. Freezing can adversely affect the texture and lead to a soggy result when thawed. Skillet Peach Cobbler is best enjoyed when it is freshly baked, as that is when it retains its delightful texture and optimal taste. We suggest savoring the cobbler right after it comes out of the oven for optimal taste and texture.
- Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the desired amount of cobbler in an oven-safe dish and cover it with foil to prevent it from drying out. Reheat for about 15-20 minutes or until warmed through. Remove from the oven and serve.
- Microwave: For a quick reheating method, you can use the microwave. Transfer a portion of the cobbler to a microwave-safe dish and cover it loosely with a microwave-safe lid or microwave-safe plastic wrap. Heat on medium power in 30-second intervals until the desired temperature is reached.
