Ingredients
PEACH FILLING
- 5-6 large fresh peaches, sliced (about 6 cups total)
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
COBBLER TOPPING
- 1 (8.5 ounce) box Jiffy corn muffin mix
- ½ cup (1 stick) salted butter, melted
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- For topping: 1-2 tablespoons coarse sparkling sugar, turbinado sugar, or additional granulated sugar
OPTIONAL FOR SERVING
- Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream
Instructions
PREPARE PEACH FILLING
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 10-inch cast iron skillet or an 11 x 7-inch baking dish. Add the peaches and sugar to the dish; toss to combine.
PREPARE THE TOPPING
- In a large bowl, stir together the Jiffy mix, melted butter, flour, sugar, and vanilla extract until a soft dough forms.
- Use your fingers or a spoon to evenly drop clumps of the mixture on top of the peaches.
BAKE THE COBBLER
- Bake the cobbler for 30 minutes.
- Sprinkle the top of the cobbler with the coarse sugar and bake for about 20 more minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and cooked through and the peach filling is juicy and bubbly around the edges. A toothpick inserted in the topping should come out clean.
- Let the cobbler rest for 20-30 minutes, and then serve. Top individual servings with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
- Peeling the Peaches is Optional: I scrub the peaches clean, but I don't peel them for this recipe. The peel helps the peaches hold their shape and adds a bit of texture to the finished dish. If you like your peaches peeled, that's fine too. It's just a matter of personal preference.
- Thaw or Drain Peaches: For frozen peaches, make sure that you thaw them (and drain off any extra liquid) before adding them to the dish. If using canned peaches, drain off any liquid before adding them to the dish.
- Adjust Sugar Based on Peach Sweetness: Taste your peaches before adding sugar to the filling. If they are very sweet, you may need less sugar in the recipe to avoid an overly sweet cobbler.
- Thicken the Filling: If your peaches are especially juicy, consider thickening the peach cobbler filling with a starch like cornstarch or flour to avoid a watery filling or soggy crust. Toss the peaches with 1-2 tablespoons of the thickening agent and sugar before adding the topping.
