Easy Cast Iron Skillet Fruit Cobbler

Carol Food

I know what you’re thinking. Summer is over and we’re deep in winter;  now she’s sharing a fruit cobbler. The good news is this dish can be made with fresh or frozen fruit. On a cold winter night, you can make a sweet treat with a frozen mix of fruit. Prefer blueberries? Make a blueberry cobbler.  Have a family member who goes gaga over blackberries? Make a blackberry cobbler.  I like making a mix of fruit often including peaches, multiple berries of course, and anything else that strikes my fancy. In the summer use any juicy summer fruit: peaches, nectarines, blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, raspberries.

Use your 12″ cast iron skillet for an easy bake sweet treat. Don’t have a large oven-proof skillet? Use a glass oven-ware dish.  Don’t store your leftovers in the cast iron skillet.  It will pick up a metal flavor. So remove any leftovers from the skillet before putting it in the refrigerator.

  4. Oh you’re killing me, Carol. I was thinking what kind of bar I wanted to make and blueberry and lemon were at the top of the list. I have got to get another cast iron skillet and am sorry I gave my grampa’s old one away (cleaning was a hassle). Good looking recipe, I like that you can use frozen fruit.
    Happy New Year I bet your house smells amazing.

    1. Use a glass ovenware to make it – you’d have to change the directions a little but it would work! Happy New Year!

    1. I am so sorry – you are the first person to see the mistake! It is 1/4 cup or half stick. Good luck!
