How to Make Cast Iron Peach Cobbler

This recipe is popular all year round, but it's especially good in the summer when peaches are in season. The fresh, juicy peaches give the cobbler a delicious flavor that's hard to beat.

Prepare The Peaches

1. Preheat the oven to 350 F and spray the bottom and sides of a 9 - 10 inch cast iron skillet with non stick spray.
   
   
2. Spread sliced or chunked peaches out in a single layer in the cast iron skillet.
   
   
3. Sprinkle the top of the peaches with ¼ of the sugar.

Make The Cobbler Topping

4. In a medium bowl use an electric hand mixer to mix the butter and remaining sugar.
   
   
5. Add the flour, baking powder, salt, egg, and vanilla. Mix well until blended. Batter will be thick like sugar cookie dough.
