🍑 Easy 1-1-1-1 Cast Iron Cobbler (Crispy & Delicious!)

If you're looking for a quick, comforting dessert that’s big on flavor and low on fuss, this simple 1-1-1-1 cobbler recipe is one you'll want to bookmark. It's a go-to at our house — especially when the peaches are ripe or the freezer needs clearing. The magic touch? Baking it in a cast iron skillet for that perfect golden crisp on the edges. 😍

🥣 What You'll Need:

  • 1 cup self-rising flour

  • 1 cup sugar

  • 1 cup milk

  • 1 large can of peaches (or about 1 cup of your favorite fruit – fresh, frozen, or canned)

  • 1 stick of butter (1/2 cup)

  • Optional: A splash of vanilla extract for extra flavor

🔥 Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F.

  2. Place the stick of butter in your cast iron skillet and put it in the oven to melt.

  3. In a bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, milk, and a splash of vanilla (if using).

  4. Once the butter is fully melted and the skillet is piping hot, pour the batter right into the butter — don’t stir!

  5. Gently spoon the fruit on top, including a little of the syrup or juice if using canned.

  6. Bake at 375°F for about 30 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbling.

🍨 Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream for the ultimate treat!
