Cast Iron Skillet Peach Cobbler Recipe

I love to cook and bake but I really hate to clean up.  This cast iron peach cobbler recipe is still my go to every summer, made completely on the stovetop so the oven never has to go on. I don't have a dishwasher (unless you count me) and when I go on a cooking/baking and then I get totally overwhelmed and crabby....well, you get the picture....so, if I make something all in one pot/pan I am a very happy camper.

I use my cast iron skillet a lot.  Something about it makes me feel all pioneer-y.  Like I should have an open fire out back and a horse tied to my tree...but I'm not real crazy about bugs so I'll just stay inside and use the stove.

Right now you can find fresh peaches around here at great prices so I stocked up and made some Fresh Peach Cobbler in my trusty Cast Iron Skillet.  It was so easy, took no time at all and was super tasty.

Tips for the Best Cast Iron Peach Cobbler

A few tips to help this cast iron peach cobbler recipe turn out perfectly every time:

• Use a well seasoned cast iron or heavy bottomed skillet so the biscuit topping does not stick
• Keep the heat at medium, cast iron holds heat longer than other pans so it is easy to overcook the bottom if the burner runs too hot
• Let the cobbler rest 5 minutes before serving, the filling continues to thicken as it cools slightly

Peach Cobbler Variations

No fresh peaches? Canned peaches (drained) or frozen peaches (thawed and drained) both work in this recipe, just skip the added water since canned and frozen peaches release more liquid on their own.

How to Store Leftover Peach Cobbler

• Store covered in the fridge for up to 4 days
• Reheat individual portions in the microwave for 20 to 30 seconds, or warm the whole skillet on low heat on the stovetop
• This cobbler is best fresh, the biscuit topping softens as it sits

This would be a great dessert, but while my father-in-law was visiting I served it for breakfast...yes, I did....he loves sweets so I threw caution to the wind and made this.  {I also made my Cinnamon Roll French Toast Casserole for Dinner while he was here....I was really walking on the wild side}.
