Few desserts feel as comforting as peach cobbler. Sweet, syrupy peaches baked under a golden crust create a dish that’s both simple and indulgent. When you bake it on the Big Green Egg, you add just a touch of wood-fired character that makes this classic Southern dessert even more memorable.
It’s a recipe that comes together quickly with pantry staples and delivers a warm, crowd-pleasing dessert that’s perfect for family gatherings, cookouts, or backyard dinners.
Ingredients
- 1 cup self-rising flour
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 large can sliced peaches in syrup
- 1 stick butter
- Lane’s Apple Pie Seasoning
EGGcessories
- 10 x 13 baking dish
- ConvEGGtor
- ConvEGGtor basket
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Set Up the Egg
Prepare your Big Green Egg for indirect cooking at 400°F with the convEGGtor in place, legs up.
2. Melt the Butter
Place your baking dish directly on the grid and melt one stick of butter. Once melted, carefully remove the dish from the Egg.
3. Mix the Batter
In a bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and milk. Stir until the mixture is smooth.
4. Layer the Ingredients
Pour the batter into the baking dish on top of the melted butter. Do not stir.
Add the can of peaches with syrup, spreading them evenly across the top. Again, do not stir.
5. Add Seasoning
Sprinkle Lane’s Apple Pie Seasoning generously over the peaches and batter.
6. Bake
Return the dish to the Egg and bake for 45 minutes, or until the cobbler is golden and set. You can test doneness by inserting a toothpick into the crust. If it comes out clean, it’s ready.
7. Serve
Let the cobbler cool for a few minutes, then serve warm. Pair with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for the ultimate finish.
Expert Recipe Tips
- Use self-rising flour for the best results. If you don’t have it, you can substitute with all-purpose flour plus baking powder and a pinch of salt.
- Don’t stir after layering. This creates the signature cobbler crust as the batter rises around the peaches.
- Use fresh peaches when they’re in season for extra flavor. Simply slice and toss them with a bit of sugar before layering.
- Experiment with toppings. A sprinkle of chopped pecans or a drizzle of caramel adds even more richness.
- Serve straight from the baking dish. Cast iron or heavy ceramic pans hold heat well, keeping the cobbler warm at the table.
