Southern Peach Cobbler
Equipment
- Cast Iron Skillet
Ingredients
- 2 15 oz cans of sliced peaches
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 2 tsp vanilla
- pinch of salt
- cornstarch slurry 2 tbsp water + 1 tbsp cornstarch
For the topping
- 1 1/4 cup all purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 5 tbsp unsalted butter melted
- 2 tbsp milk
- 1 tsp vanilla
Toppings
- crushed pecans
- vanilla ice cream
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F
- In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, brown and white sugar. Carefully pour in the melted butter, vanilla and milk. Mix until just combined and set aside.
- In a saucepan, over medium heat melt butter over medium heat. Then pour in the strained peaches. Add in brown and white sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and a pinch of salt.
- Mix well, then simmer for 10 minutes. Add in cornstarch slurry to thicken. This should take about 15 minutes.
- Once the sauce thickens, remove from the heat, add the peaches to a cast iron skillet or oven safe-pan. Top with the doughy topping. Note It'll be a tacky cookie dough texture.
- Break the pieces and distribute throughout the top layer of the cobbler until majority of it is coated. There will be gaps of exposed peaches and that's okay.
- Bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes or until the topping is golden.
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream and crushed pecans if desired.
