Can I use canned peaches instead of frozen?

Absolutely! Just be sure to drain them well if they’re packed in syrup. Canned peaches will be softer, but they work well and make the recipe even speedier. If using canned, you might want to cut back on sugar since they're often already sweetened.

Do I need to thaw frozen peaches before adding them?

No need at all. Frozen peaches go straight from the bag into the skillet. They’ll release a bit more liquid at first, but the flour will help thicken it into a luscious sauce.

What if I don’t have a cast iron skillet?

No worries! A heavy, oven-safe baking dish works too. You might miss a touch of that trademark crispy edge, but the flavor will still be delicious and comforting.

Can I make the topping from scratch if I don’t have Bisquick?

Yes! Simply mix all-purpose flour, a little baking powder, salt, and a tablespoon of butter. Add milk just until you get a thick batter. It’s a handy substitute and keeps things just as easy.

Instructions

Preheat the Oven – Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it is fully heated by the time your cobbler is ready to bake.
Cook the Peach Filling – In a cast iron skillet over medium heat, melt 4 tablespoons of butter. Stir in the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg until combined, then add the frozen peaches and toss to coat them in the spiced mixture. Sprinkle in the flour and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and peaches are fully coated.
Prepare the Cobbler Topping – In a medium bowl, combine Bisquick mix, granulated sugar, and milk. Stir the mixture until it is just combined and forms a batter.
Assemble the Cobbler – Pour or spoon the Bisquick mixture evenly over the peach filling in the skillet, spreading gently to cover as much of the surface as possible.
Bake – Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and cooked through.
Serve – Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy it warm, optionally topped with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

Notes

If you use fresh peaches, peel and slice about 6-8 peaches as a substitute for frozen.
Adjust sugar to taste depending on the sweetness of your peaches.
Best served fresh, but leftovers can be stored refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated.
For extra flavor, add a splash of vanilla extract to the filling.
Cast iron skillet gives a crispier bottom, but you can use any oven-safe skillet or baking dish.
