Print Recipe

A warm, cinnamon-spiced peach cobbler made in a small skillet, perfect for two. This easy recipe features a soft, biscuit-like topping and jammy fruit, ready in about 40 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large ripe peaches, sliced into 1/2-inch wedges
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for topping)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 3 tablespoons milk (whole milk preferred)
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (for skillet)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Place a small oven-safe skillet or baking dish in the oven to warm.
  2. In a small bowl, combine sliced peaches, 2 tablespoons sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Stir gently and let sit while preparing topping.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add cold cubed butter and cut in with a pastry cutter or fingers until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized butter pieces.
  4. Pour milk into flour-butter mixture and stir until just combined. Batter should be thick and slightly lumpy; do not overmix.
  5. Carefully remove hot skillet from oven. Add 1 tablespoon butter and swirl to melt. Pour peach mixture (including juices) into skillet. Drop spoonfuls of topping batter over peaches, leaving some gaps.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean. If browning too quickly, tent with foil for last 5 minutes.
  7. Let cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm.

Notes

Don’t overmix the topping; lumps are fine. Use cold butter for a tender topping. Let cobbler rest 10-15 minutes after baking to allow juices to thicken. For frozen fruit, do not thaw and add a few extra minutes to baking time.
