Cast Iron Skillet Peach Cobbler, made with fresh peaches topped with biscuit dough and made in a cast iron skillet, easy delicious dessert.
Cast iron skillet peach cobbler an easy dessert to make and my favorite way to serve it is warm with a scoop or two of vanilla ice cream.
I have been having a great time making tasty desserts in my cast iron skillet. It took me a long time to get a cast iron skillet. I really didn’t think that I would use it too much. My mom had one when I was a kid and I really don’t think she used it too often. So maybe that was what was holding me back.
But now that I have a cast iron skillet I am finding all kind of ways to use it. All the way from bread to burgers to dessert. There has been good eating believe me.
Sweet juicy peaches at this time of the year make the best desserts. Don’t you think? Peach cobbler is super easy to make and just as delicious as a peach pie and there is no crust to roll out.
Do you know how to peel peaches? Here is an easy way to do just that:
Bring a pot of water to a boil. With a slotted spoon drop the peaches into the boiling water. Remove after 20 to 40 seconds or until the skins start to split and place them into ice water. Cool for a short time and using a knife to peel the peaches easily.

A fantastic late summer dessert!
I love the idea of using cast-iron for this lovely peach cobbler…and yes, I want mine with a big scoop of ice cream. Thanks for the recipe Dawn…have a wonderful weekend!
I love my cast iron pans, Dawn! Yes, pans. I loved the first one so much that I had to get some different sizes. And come fall, I love baking and cooking in those pans! We just found some peaches on super clearance (6 for $1) yesterday, and I stocked up. (Apparently they sent way too many to our store, so the store just dumped ’em on clearance.) Now I know how to use some of those peaches!!
An interesting recipe. Never cooked it that way. It looks delicious, so definitely I will try to cook by following you. Thanks!
