A warm, comforting dessert featuring juicy peaches and a rich, nutty brown butter cobbler topping baked in a skillet. Perfect for summer or fall, this easy homemade cobbler offers a cozy, indulgent treat with a golden, tender crumb.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups sliced fresh peaches (about 5 medium peaches), peeled and pitted (or frozen peaches, thawed and drained)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, browned
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend)
  • ⅔ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ⅓ cup whole milk or buttermilk (can substitute almond or oat milk)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Brown the butter in your skillet over medium heat by melting the 6 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Swirl the pan constantly until it foams and turns golden brown with a nutty aroma, about 4-5 minutes. Remove from heat immediately.
  3. Add the sliced peaches, ¼ cup granulated sugar, lemon juice, and cinnamon (if using) to the browned butter. Toss gently to coat and spread evenly in the skillet.
  4. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, ⅓ cup granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  5. In a separate small bowl, combine the milk and vanilla extract.
  6. Pour the milk and vanilla mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined; do not overmix. The batter will be thick but pourable.
  7. Carefully spoon or pour the batter over the peaches in the skillet, spreading gently to cover most of the fruit.
  8. Bake the skillet in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the batter comes out clean. The peach juices should bubble around the edges.
  9. Let the cobbler cool slightly for 10 minutes before serving to allow the juices to thicken and the cobbler to set.

Notes

Watch the butter carefully when browning to avoid burning; swirl constantly and remove from heat once nutty aroma appears. If peaches are underripe, add a pinch more sugar. Tent with foil if topping browns too quickly after 25 minutes. Best served warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. Can substitute gluten-free flour and dairy-free milk for dietary needs.
