  • Take the end of a stick of butter and rub it all around the inside of your clean, room temperature, cast iron skillet. Just enough to get a thin layer of butter on the cast iron.

  • Carefully flatten the dough around the fruit to make a "cobbled" pattern of dough and fruit.

  • Do NOT completely cover the top of the peaches, you want about ⅓ of the peaches showing through. The dough will continue to spread as it cooks.
  • Evenly sprinkle the top of the cobbler with another 2 tablespoon of sugar.

Smoke the Peach Cobbler

  • Place your smoking wood chunk on the hot charcoals if using a charcoal grill or pellet tube or smoker box if using a gas grill. If using a propane or electric smoker, fill the wood chip tray.
  • Place the cast iron skillet in the grill or smoker, away from any DIRECT heat and close the lid. Smoke at 275°F for the first hour. Rotate the skillet as necessary for even cooking but DO NOT stir the contents of the skillet.

  • Let the peach cobbler smoke for another 30-40 minutes at 350°F until the top has browned slightly and the peaches are bubbling and look caramelized on the edges. Watch to make sure no burning is occuring around the edges of the skillet.
