This Cast Iron Peach Cobbler is Paleo, gluten free, and makes the perfect classic summer dessert! It’s full of sweet and buttery flavor and comes together quickly using fresh and real ingredients. Top this dish with a scoop or two of your favorite ice cream for a healthy dessert that everyone will love!
Place sliced peaches (skins removed or not) in a large bowl, sprinkle with tapioca flour for the filling and mix well.
Add all other ingredients for the filling to the peach slices and mix well to ensure even coating. Place the peach mixture in the bottom of a well seasoned cast iron skillet.
In a medium bowl mix the dry ingredients for the cobbler. Add in the maple syrup, vanilla extract, melted ghee, and milk. Mix well until a dough is formed.
Dollop the cobbler topping onto the top of the peaches, then sprinkle the top of the cobbler with the coconut sugar and cinnamon.
Bake at 350 degrees F for 35-40 minutes or until toothpick inserted into cobbler comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
Remove from the oven, allow to cool slightly, and serve with a scoop of ice cream and a little bit of cinnamon!
Notes
Ingredient Notes
Almond Flour - this recipe uses blanched almond flour (with the skins removed).
Tapioca Flour - this may also be labeled as tapioca starch. Arrowroot starch works great as well!
Ghee - this gives the cobbler that delicious and glass butter flavor while remaining paleo compliant. You can substitute this ingredient with coconut oil or melted butter.
Dairy free milk - almond milk, coconut milk, or cashew milk will all work great.
