Every time I make this cobbler, it just seems to get better and better. When I made this particular one to share as a recipe, I kid you not, my guys pretty much devoured it in a day.
I really do need to be more strategic about when I make this and make it when we’re about to have company, so we don’t eat it all ourselves. I did get a little bit… just a li’l.
Peach cobbler is probably the easiest recipe, besides chocolate chip cookies, you could ever make. Ingredients are simple and the crust is a press-in crust, my favorite type of pie crust.
The more tedious part is peeling and slicing the peaches, but even that isn’t bad. Fair warning, though… If you don’t watch it, you may not have as many peaches in your cobbler as you first started out with… They’re hard to resist.
You can use a regular baking dish. I’ve made this in a round glass casserole dish for years, but while I was pregnant and more prone to anemia, we really started using more cast iron for cooking. So, I decided to give Dan’s favorite skillet a try.
A cast iron skillet makes a super delicious cobbler.

The Best Peach Cobbler Ever, Made in a Cast Iron Skillet
Peach cobbler is probably the easiest dessert recipe you could ever make. Ingredients are simple, with a press-in crust! Bake it up in your favorite cast iron skillet, serve with vanilla ice cream, and watch it disappear.
Crust:
2 cups flour
3-4 tbsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
3/4 cup unsalted butter (softened)
3-4 tbsp. milk
Filling:
8-12 peaches
1/2-2/3 cup sugar
Pinch of salt
1/2 tbsp. corn starch
1/4 cup salted butter
1/2 tbsp. cinnamon
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Bring down to 375 degrees.
For the crust, combine dry ingredients and set aside.
Combine softened butter and milk in smaller bowl.
Add to dry ingredients, stirring with a fork.
Set aside 1/4 of dough for topping.
Press the rest of the dough into a baking dish or large cast iron skillet. Press up the sides until the crust covers the dish or skillet.
Wash, peel, and slice peaches.
Add in sugar, salt, corn starch, and cinnamon. Mix well.
Pour peach mixture into crust, and top with sliced butter.
Finally, crumble your saved crust topping over the peach mixture.
Bake for 40 minutes to 1 hour, until crust is golden brown.
Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and enjoy!

Can you use canned peach pie filling or frozen peaches and can you also use one of the pre rolled pie crusts?
Thanks

Andrea, you can definitely use canned peach pie filling, though you probably won’t have to add the extra sugar and cinnamon and other ingredients that I use to make the filling in this recipe, because it’ll already have everything in it. You can also use frozen peaches, but you probably want to let them thaw before you use them to make the filling, so they’ll lose some of the added moisture they’ll have from being frozen. And yes, you can definitely use a pre-made pie crust.
