Can I use fresh peaches instead of frozen?

Absolutely! Just peel and slice your peaches and use about the same weight. In fact, if peaches are in season, fresh is a treat—just be sure they’re juicy and ripe for best results.

What if I don’t have Bisquick?

No problem at all. You can whip up a quick substitute using flour, a bit of baking powder, salt, and a touch of butter or shortening. There are plenty of homemade Bisquick recipes available if you need a backup.

Can I make this ahead for a party?

You can! Prepare the filling and topping separately, storing both in the fridge. When ready to bake, assemble in the skillet and bake as instructed—just add a few extra minutes if starting from cold.

How do I know when the cobbler is done?

The key is a deeply golden biscuit topping and bubbling fruit at the edges. If the top looks pale, give it a couple more minutes. If you gently press the topping, it should spring back a bit and not feel gooey.

Instructions

Preheat the Oven – Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking when you finish preparing the cobbler.
Prepare the Peach Filling – Heat a cast iron skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt completely, then add the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg, stirring until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Add the Peaches – Add the frozen peaches to the skillet and toss them so they’re evenly coated in the spiced butter and sugar mixture.
Thicken the Sauce – Sprinkle the flour over the peach mixture and stir well. Continue cooking for a few minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the peaches.
Mix the Cobbler Topping – In a medium bowl, combine the Bisquick mix, granulated sugar, and milk. Stir until just combined to create a thick batter.
Assemble the Cobbler – Spoon the Bisquick batter evenly over the warm peach mixture in the skillet, covering most of the fruit.
Bake – Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and cooked through.
Serve – Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!

Notes

For a fresher taste, substitute frozen peaches with fresh, peeled, and sliced peaches, when in season.
Try adding a splash of vanilla extract to the peach filling for extra flavor.
If you prefer a crispier topping, brush the dough with a little melted butter before baking.
Let the cobbler rest a few minutes after baking to help the filling set up slightly.
