Equipment

  • 10-inch cast iron skillet
  • large mixing bowl
  • medium mixing bowl
  • whisk
  • wooden spoon
  • box grater for shredding frozen butter

Ingredients

  • 6 cups fresh peaches, sliced
  • 2 cups fresh blueberries
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter, frozen and shredded
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • In a large bowl, combine sliced peaches, blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, kosher salt, and flour. Toss gently until evenly coated.
  • Transfer the fruit mixture to a 10-inch cast iron skillet and spread into an even layer.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and kosher salt for the biscuit topping.
  • Add the shredded cold butter and work it into the flour mixture until coarse crumbs form.
  • Pour in the buttermilk and stir just until combined. The dough should remain slightly sticky and shaggy.
  • Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough evenly over the fruit, leaving some gaps for the fruit to bubble through.
  • Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until the topping is deep golden brown and the fruit is bubbling around the edges.
  • Allow the cobbler to rest for 10 minutes before serving.
  • Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream if desired.

Notes

Use fresh, frozen, or canned peaches. If using frozen peaches, thaw and drain well and increase the flour in the filling to 3 tablespoons. For extra flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the topping. Allow the cobbler to rest for 10 minutes before serving so the juices can thicken properly. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
