Print Recipe

A warm, comforting peach cobbler made in a cast iron Dutch oven, perfect for rustic campfire nights. This easy recipe combines juicy cinnamon-spiced peaches with a buttery biscuit topping for a crowd-pleasing dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4–5 medium fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • 1/3 cup milk (whole or 2%; almond or oat milk for dairy-free)
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar

Instructions

  1. Peel and slice peaches into 1/2-inch thick pieces. Toss with granulated sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Let sit for 10 minutes to macerate.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Add milk and stir gently until just combined; batter should be slightly sticky but not wet.
  4. Scrape peach mixture with juices into the bottom of the Dutch oven. Spread biscuit dough evenly over peaches, leaving some gaps for steam to escape.
  5. Sprinkle brown sugar evenly over the biscuit topping.
  6. Place Dutch oven over medium coals or campfire grate. Cover with lid and arrange 12-15 hot coals on top and 8-10 underneath. Bake for 30-40 minutes until topping is golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Remove Dutch oven carefully with heat-resistant gloves. Let cobbler rest for 10 minutes before serving warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

If topping browns too quickly, tent Dutch oven lid with foil to prevent burning. For indoor baking, bake at 375°F (190°C) for 35-40 minutes. Use frozen peaches if fresh are unavailable, but thaw and drain first. Gluten-free and vegan adaptations are possible by substituting flours and dairy ingredients.
