Print Recipe

A smoky, sweet grilled peach cobbler with caramelized brown sugar and a subtle bourbon warmth, perfect for easy outdoor cooking and summer gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large ripe peaches, halved and pitted
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup bourbon
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or almond flour for gluten-free)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup whole milk or buttermilk (or dairy-free milk alternative)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Pinch of nutmeg or ground ginger (optional)

Instructions

  1. Wash and halve the peaches, removing the pits. Toss them gently in a bowl with 1/2 cup of the brown sugar, lemon juice, and bourbon. Let them macerate while you prepare the topping.
  2. Preheat your grill for indirect heat, aiming for about 350°F (175°C). For charcoal, bank the coals to one side; for gas, turn on one burner and leave the other off.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, remaining 1/2 cup brown sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and optional nutmeg. Stir in melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract until just combined.
  4. Lightly grease your cast iron skillet or foil pan. Spoon the bourbon-peach mixture evenly across the bottom. Pour the cobbler batter over the peaches, spreading gently with a spatula to cover but leaving some peaches peeking through.
  5. Place the skillet over indirect heat on the grill. Close the lid and cook for 35-40 minutes until the topping is golden and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. The peaches should be bubbling and caramelized.
  6. Remove the skillet carefully with tongs or heat-resistant gloves. Let it rest for 10 minutes to thicken slightly. Serve warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

Use indirect heat on the grill to avoid burning the topping. Macerate peaches in bourbon and sugar to enhance flavor. If topping browns too quickly, move skillet to cooler part of grill. Can bake in oven at 375°F for about 40 minutes if no grill is available. For gluten-free, use almond flour and dairy-free milk. Bourbon can be replaced with vanilla extract for a kid-friendly version.
