    Strawberry Peach Cobbler

    Jump to Recipe

    Homemade strawberry peach cobbler made in a cast-iron skillet is a classic American recipe. Fresh fruit and a biscuit topping make the perfect old-fashioned dessert. I mean just look at it - it's gorgeous.

    Cobbler is a southern staple and baking it in cast iron is the traditional method; therefore, that is why I love making it from scratch this way. It gives an even bake & a pretty presentation. It's a great summer dessert like my Southern Peach Pound Cake.

    Ingredients for Peach & Strawberry Cobbler

    Cobblers are a quick and easy dessert that includes a bottom layer of fruit filling and has a biscuit topping. You will need all-purpose flour, baking powder, butter, and milk for the dough. Since cobbler dough is typically not very sweet, I have finished it with a dusting of cinnamon and sugar. 

    The best fresh peaches for cobblers or crisps are white or yellow freestone or cling-free peaches. They are easy to cut and separate from the pits. To find out which are freestone, read more about PEACH VARIETIES. 

    Unlike my recipe for Blueberry Cobbler, this version has two fruits. Yeah, twice the yumminess similar to my Berry Crisp with Steel Cut Oats.

    How to Make a Cast Iron Skillet Cobbler

    To make an old-fashioned cobbler in the skillet a good quality cast iron skillet is a must. It will ensure even baking and the cooking times will be accurate. Once all your ingredients are ready, including having the fruit sliced and diced, you are ready to begin making the cobbler. 

    This recipe includes stovetop steps for the fruit filling and then is finished off in the oven to bake with the buttery biscuit topping. I am using a 10.25" Lodge brand cast-iron skillet. One that goes from stovetop to oven is important for this recipe.

    Begin by preheating the oven to 375° and prepping the cinnamon sugar. In a small bowl mix together 1 TB granulated sugar & ¼ teaspoon cinnamon; set aside for later. 

    1 - Brown the Butter

    Brown butter adds so much rich nutty flavor to desserts and is really a step that should not be skipped. Add the butter to a 10 or 12-inch oven-safe skillet set over medium heat.

    Allow the butter to brown and is a deep golden brown, stirring often and watching carefully so it does not burn. Once it has reached the desired color, as seen below, remove it from the heat and turn off the burner.

    2 - Make the Cobbler Filling

    Add the sliced peaches, quartered strawberries, vanilla, ½ cup brown sugar, and 2 TB of flour, tossing to combine.  (if adding bourbon do so at this time)

    Transfer to the oven and bake for 10 minutes. This will soften the fruit before adding the topping.

    3 - Make the Biscuit Topping

    While the fruit is baking in the oven, make the dough for the biscuit topping. In a medium-sized bowl, mix the remaining ingredients starting with 1 & ⅓ C of flour through the milk (not including optional sea salt).  Stir to combine.

    4 - Assemble & Bake the Peach & Strawberry Cobbler 

    When the fruit is done cooking, remove it from the oven. Drop large tablespoons full of the batter in evenly distributed dollops over the entire top of the filling. I prefer a thin layer of dough so I grab some dough with my hands and flatten it and then lay circles on the top.

    For a final touch, sprinkle with the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the top.  If you want a salted crust, sprinkle on the sea salt at this time.

    5 - Bake the Cobbler

    Place in the oven and bake for 25 minutes, until golden brown and the batter is cooked through.  Remove carefully from the oven and let cool. To enjoy it warm, serve after about 15 minutes of cooling.

    Variations & Substitutions

    This simple recipe is tried & true. A classic like this is best enjoyed without any changes. Or fun a fun twist try my recipe for Cinnamon Roll Peach Cobbler made with canned cinnamon rolls.

    • Fresh Fruit - use frozen instead: be sure to defrost and drain them first before adding to the skillet. Drained canned peaches may work but I have not tried that.
    • Brown Sugar - try one of my substitutes for brown sugar if your pantry is missing this key ingredient.

    This recipe is not dairy or gluten-free. If you have an allergy or dietary restriction, try my Gluten-Free Apple Cobbler for a wonderful dessert option.

    How to Serve

    Serve warm from the oven. Top with whipped cream or ice cream. To elevate it, making it a la mode is always a great idea.

    Add caramel drizzle or a bourbon sauce to take it to a whole extra insane level. For a fantastic bourbon brown sugar peach cobbler recipe, try this recipe.

    How to Store & Reheat Homemade Cobbler

    Peach and strawberry cobbler can be left out on your counter for 24 hours. If you still have some remaining after a day, transfer itton an air-tight container and store it in your refrigerator for up to 5 days. 

    Scoop desired servings into a microwave-safe bowl and reheat for 15-30 seconds.

        Marianne, you seriously paid me an amazing compliment. The photography and styling is the hardest part for me and I am very critical of my images. I have come a LONG way in the almost 3 years and so much more to learn so this really motivates me and brings a huge smile to my face that I am getting there!
