Best 3 Skillet Blueberry Peach Cobbler Recipes

OVER-THE-COALS BOURBON, BLUEBERRY AND PEACH COBBLER

Steps:

• Start a campfire and wait until the flames die down and the coals glow red with white ash. Meanwhile, make the filling: In a large bowl, combine the peaches, blueberries, bourbon, sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, lemon zest, lemon juice and vanilla. Mix well to coat the peaches and blueberries evenly. Set aside.
• Make the topping: In a second large bowl, combine the flour, oats, sugar and salt. Add the cold butter cubes and cut the butter into the flour with a pastry blender, 2 knives or your hands. Mix until the texture is coarse and clumps in your palm when you squeeze a handful. Add the heavy cream and mix just until the dough comes together a bit more.
• Pour the filling into a 12-inch cast-iron skillet or Dutch oven with a fitted lid and spread it out evenly. Spoon the topping mixture evenly over the filling, then cover with the lid. Place the skillet adjacent to the hot coals in a place where it will get a good amount of radiant heat so the topping cooks through evenly without burning. Use a metal shovel to pile hot coals on top of the lid (this will distribute heat from the top). Cook 45 to 50 minutes, rotating the skillet 90 degrees every 10 minutes so the cobbler cooks evenly. (Feed the fire with more wood as needed.) Change out the hot coals on top 2 or 3 times during cooking so the top stays hot throughout. When the cobbler is done, the fruit will be bubbling around the edges and the topping will be light and fluffy. Serve the cobbler straight from the pan with vanilla yogurt on the side.
• You can also bake the cobbler, uncovered, in a 375 degrees F oven, 30 to 35 minutes.

BLUEBERRY PEACH COBBLER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Roll pastry to fit a 2-quart oval baking dish. In a large bowl, combine peaches and blueberries. Mix in flour, sugar, nutmeg, vanilla and butter cubes. Pour into the baking dish and cover with pastry. Using a fork, cut off excess dough and create a decorative edge by pressing tines along edge of pan and pushing down. With a paring knife, cut 3 slices on top of the pastry to vent. Brush on egg wash and dust with sugar. Bake until golden brown on top and edges are bubbling, about 45 to 50 minutes.

SKILLET BLUEBERRY-PEACH COBBLER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• For the filling:
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar, cinnamon, salt, and cornstarch. Add the peaches, and blueberries, and mix, coating the fruit evenly with the sugar mixture. Toss with the lemon juice and zest, if desired. Put the fruit filling in a cast iron skillet and place in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes. In the meantime, make the biscuit dough.
• For the topping:
• Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Using a food processor, a pastry cutter, or your fingertips incorporate the chilled butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add the buttermilk and stir just until moistened.
• Carefully remove the skillet from the oven, and drop 6 to 8 (1/2 cup) portions of biscuit dough on top of the cooked fruit, spacing the mounds about a 1/2-inch apart. Increase the oven temperature to 425 degrees F and bake until the biscuits are golden brown on top and the fruit is bubbling, about 30 minutes.
• Allow to cool for 15 minutes before serving.
