This cast iron peach cobbler is a summertime treat ready in just about 30 minutes. Delicately spiced fresh peaches are artfully layered with a Bisquick batter and generously sprinkled with coarse sugar, resulting in a delightful fusion of crispy, fluffy, and juicy textures after baking.
Pit and slice the peaches and add to a large mixing bowl. Add the brown sugar and vanilla extract and toss gently to combine.
8 peaches or nectarines, ½ cup light brown sugar, ½ tablespoon vanilla extract
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch, cinnamon and nutmeg, then add to the peaches and toss to combine. Set aside.
3 tablespoons cornstarch, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon nutmeg or cardamom
In another bowl, mix together the bisquick and whole milk until a thick batter forms.
2 cups Bisquick, ⅔ cup whole milk
Butter the bottom of a 9-10” cast iron skillet, then add the peaches, including any sugars or juices left over in the bowl.
2 tablespoon butter
Spoon the dough over top of the peaches in dollops, leaving some areas where the peaches show through.
Sprinkle the coarse sugar over top of the dough, then bake for 30 minutes until the peach juices are bubbly and the biscuit topping is lightly browned.
1 tablespoon turbinado sugar
Allow the cobbler to cool for 15-20 minutes, then serve with vanilla ice cream, or a drizzle of heavy cream or milk.

Notes
Store the cobbler lightly covered at room temperature for three days, or in the fridge for one week. Reheat portions in the microwave, or the entire skillet in a 350℉ oven for 10-15 minutes until warmed and juices have loosened.
