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.
