Print Recipe

This grilled peach cobbler is a smoky, sweet summer dessert made entirely on the grill. It features caramelized peaches with a golden, slightly smoky cobbler topping, all cooked in a cast iron skillet for an easy, no-oven-needed treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 ripe but firm peaches, sliced into wedges (about 1/2 inch thick)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1 tablespoon coarse sugar (like turbinado or demerara) for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F / 190-200°C). Place your cast iron skillet on the grill grates to preheat for about 5 minutes.
  2. In a large bowl, gently toss the sliced peaches with 1/4 cup granulated sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Let them sit for about 5 minutes.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the cold butter cubes. Using a pastry cutter or two forks, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse meal with pea-sized butter pieces.
  4. Pour in the milk and stir just until combined. The batter will be thick and slightly lumpy.
  5. Carefully remove the hot skillet from the grill (use oven mitts!). Pour the peach mixture into the hot skillet. It should sizzle immediately. Spread it into an even layer.
  6. Using a spoon, drop dollops of the cobbler topping over the peaches. Sprinkle the coarse sugar evenly over the topping.
  7. Place the skillet back on the grill. Close the lid and cook for 25-30 minutes, rotating the skillet halfway through for even cooking. The topping should be golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
  8. Remove the skillet from the grill and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes. Serve warm, directly from the skillet.

Notes

Don’t skip preheating the skillet for a good sear. Use cold butter for a flaky topping. Rotate the skillet halfway through for even cooking. Let the cobbler rest for 15 minutes to allow the filling to set. If the topping browns too quickly, move the skillet to a cooler part of the grill.
