Equipment

Ingredients
  

For the peaches

  • ⅓ cup light brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
  • Pinch salt
  • 6 cups sliced fresh peaches

For the cobbler topping

  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar
  • 1½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter cubed, plus more for the skillet
  • ½ cup milk

Instructions
 

Make the peach layer

  • Preheat a grill to 375°F and prepare it for indirect cooking. (I use two low burners on either side of the grill.)
  • In a large bowl, combine the brown sugar, flour, lemon juice, spices, and salt. Add the peaches and toss well to coat them evenly.

Make the cobbler topping

  • In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together.
  • Add the cubed butter and using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work it in until it's the size of peas and is evenly distributed through the flour mixture.
  • Pour in the milk and use a fork to stir just until the dough is evenly moistened. Don't overwork the dough.

Assemble and cook the cobbler

  • Butter a 12-inch cast iron skillet. Dump the peaches into the buttered skillet and smooth into an even layer.
  • Drop spoonfuls of the dough over the peach filling. There's no need to be too exact about this, just aim for an even layer over the top. It's ok if there are a few gaps here and there.
  • Place the skillet over indirect heat and grill until the cobbler topping is a light golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling, about 35 minutes.
  • Carefully remove the hot skillet from the grill and let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Don't peek--Avoid lifting the lid on the grill as much as possible as the temperature will fluctuate each time it's opened.
  • Cooking time--I find that it typically takes a little longer to cook the cobbler on the grill than in the oven.
  • Storage--Store leftover cobbler loosely covered at room temperature for up to 24 hours, or transfer to a sealed container and store in your fridge for up to 3 days.
