Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (or frozen/thawed)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (adjust based on peach sweetness)
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour (e.g., Bob’s Red Mill 1-to-1)
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 3/4 cup milk (almond, oat, or dairy milk)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch

Instructions

  1. Peel, pit, and slice about 6 cups of fresh peaches. Toss them with 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons cornstarch in a bowl. Let sit while preparing the batter.
  2. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place a 10-inch cast iron skillet in the oven to heat.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup almond flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg.
  4. Add 1 cup granulated sugar and 1/4 cup brown sugar to the dry mix and stir to combine.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter, 3/4 cup milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  6. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined; do not overmix.
  7. Carefully remove the hot cast iron skillet from the oven using oven mitts. Pour the batter evenly into the skillet.
  8. Spoon the peach mixture evenly over the batter without stirring.
  9. Bake for 30-35 minutes until the crust is golden brown and crispy around the edges and the peach filling is bubbling and thickened.
  10. Let the cobbler rest for 10 minutes before serving to allow the crust to firm up and the filling to settle.

Notes

Preheat the cast iron skillet to ensure a crispy crust. Do not overmix the batter to avoid a gummy texture. If crust browns too fast, tent with foil for the last 10 minutes. For dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil and use plant-based milk. For nut-free, omit almond flour and add extra gluten-free flour.
