I think it’s too hot for cobblers, but I couldn’t resist.
Honestly, I had no other choice. Or I had too many choices, but I really liked this one the best.
As always, at the farmer’s market I bought too many nectarines, peaches, and cherries. We inhaled the nectarines and most of the cherries. For whatever reason, the peaches sat there. Untouched. Sorry boys.
When I finally went to grab one and bit into it, the juices that started to run down my arms reminded me of a warm cobbler. With a scoop of ice cream, of course.
Um… actually, I prefer topping it with whipped cream.
Then my mind kept on going and going until I reached for the skillet and a bag of hazelnuts…
I had a craving for Nutella and that’s how the hazelnuts made it to my hands. I even thought about Nutellaizing this dessert, but then I knew I was going too far. I don’t like messing with the classics too much.
I made a Nutella Pizza instead ‘cause that’s not messing with a classic (?).
Skillet-Baked Peach and Cherry Cobbler
(inspired by Eating Well)
You will need:
For the crust:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup chopped hazelnuts, divided
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
For the Filling:
- 3 cups chopped peaches
- 1 cup chopped cherries, pits removed
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 400.
- Combine flour, 1/2 cup hazelnuts, sugar, and salt in a food processor and pulse until the nuts are finely ground.
- Add in the butter and continue to pulse until well incorporated.
- In a separate bowl whisk the egg, canola oil, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the egg mixture into the food processor while it’s still running.
- Continue to process until the mixture is clumpy.
- Measure out 1 cup of the crust mixture and add in the rest of the chopped hazelnuts to it. Set aside.
- Take the mixture from the food processor bowl and pour it into a skillet that’s been coated with cooking spray.
- Spread it evenly and press firmly into the bottom to form a crust.
- Prepare the fruit filling by combining the peaches, cherries, orange juice, and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat.
- Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, until the mixture is thick, about 5 minutes.
- Add in the corn starch and vanilla, stir, and cook for 1 more minute.
- Remove from heat and layer the fruit filling over the prepared crust.
- Top with the reserved topping, spreading it evenly over the entire fruit filling.
- Bake for 15 minutes, then lower the temperature to 350 and continue to bake for another 25 minutes.
- Let it cool for about 20 minutes before serving.
- Top with Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. Or not.

I’ve never made cobbler in a skillet before but it has to be the best way to bake anything in summer and totally beats turning on the oven.
Yum x 100! This sounds fantastic! I haven’t made a cobbler yet this summer but will be now with this recipe!
New to your blog; happy I found you!

Delightful Bitefuls
Kate this cobbler looks fantastic in the skillet! Love the peach cherry combo, and the hazelnuts!
Beautiful photos, Katie. I wish I could have some of that cobbler now!
I always buy way too much stuff at the farmers’ market. I get so excited to see so much fresh local produce. Peaches are almost in season here. I can’t wait to bite into them and enjoy it the way you described. I’ll pay the price of a little extra heat in the kitchen for this yummy treat.
This looks beautiful and so comforting. I have always wanted to try a cobbler in a skillet. I have apricots and cherries in my kitchen right now, so I may have to try that combination!
This is gorgeous, Kate! I need to get me a skillet
Oh I love fruits in this cobbler. I am the same when I go to the farmer’s market…way to may fruits after you have to cook. Ever though of trying a bbq cobbler version…to keep the house cool?
I LOVE anything cooked in a skillet, and this looks especially delicious – peaches and cherries is a combo I, for some reason, have never tried! Soon to be remedied
Thanks for sharing!
Oh, goodness!!! That looks so yummy!
That looks incredibly good! Love the hazelnuts in the crust! And I love cooking and baking in my cast iron skillet but I never thought I could make a cobbler in it! Awesome! I need to do that soon
Have you ever had leftover cold cobbler for breakfast with a tall glass of milk? Oh, my fav! You should try it!
Very behind in commenting on this, but it sure is purdy! Great flavours and easy to do in a skillet.
It is NEVER too hot for cobbler! Looks delicious
This sounds so good.. Cherries, nectarines and peaches from farmers market
The best part of summer is having all these soft fruits available to make as desserts and eat with ice cream. This is a lovely no fuss recipe. Charming photos.
Gorgeous cobbler there! I would love some with some whipped cream! Mmmmmm… The photos are just gorgeous!
Great post!
This looks awesome! I’ve neer made a cobbler in a skillet but this makes me want to try!
It is definitely the best time of year for peach and cherry cobbler. And if it is hot it just means you will need more ice cream and/or whipped cream to go with it. As always your photos amaze me, just beautiful.
According to my husband, it’s never too hot to baked desserts
)) Great looking cobbler, Kate.
The cobbler looks great… but I want the recipe for that Nutella pizza! LOL
Another delicious dessert Kate! I haven’t peaches this year yet, but I can’t wait to try… I wish I can make a cobbler with peaches and cherries… must be so delicious with ice cream on top… sigh… do you eat dessert every day? Lately I’m worrying about my weight even though I’m NOT making dessert at all (minus ice cream, but I’m in control)….imagine when I make this cobbler. In 30 minutes entire thing could disappear in my tummy…. this looks that good!
Wow this looks so delicious and your pictures are gorgeous!! Great job!!
Wow this looks amazing! Love the cherry and peach combo too. Yum Kate!!!
Kate – who doesn’t like a cobbler and heck it is summer but you can still enjoy it. Especially with cherries being so wonderful, this is a delightful dessert. Delish!!
I love that you made this cobbler in a cast-iron skillet! Beautiful!
This looks so good! I’ll take mine with whipped cream AND ice cream please! I’ll make mine with gluten-free flour, and I love the addition of hazelnuts!
I love using skillets like this. This cobbler looks delicious. I don’t know if I ever combined cherries and peaches. Both are great though so mixing them up couldn’t be bad.
This looks great Kate! I don’t think there’s ever a bad time for cobbler of any sort – may have to make an apple one this week because we got a bunch in our CSA =)
Wow this sounds awesome with these two fruits lovely verison and put together well!
MN is too cold for stone fruits so I have to settle for the aroma in the grocery store (heady but not the same). I buy 2-4 every day – because they do need to be eaten right away. But maybe I’ll let today’s peaches sit… and tomorrow enjoy a cobbler! Hazelnuts are always a good idea.
Another great dish kate! I love cobbler- peach and cherry sound like a delish combo.
What a fabulous cobbler….the addition of cherries just kicks it up a notch
I’d like mine with ice cream, but I would never refuse a bowlful with a dollop of whipped cream!
With ice cream it’s definitely NOT too hot for cobbler!
Wow!! This looks amazing. We’ll definitely have to try it out! What a delicious summer dessert, and cooking it in a skillet is so creative!
This looks like a worthy reason to pull out my skillet, yum!
Is it ever really too hot for cobbler? LOL. I love this recipe. And I love that it’s assembled and baked in a skillet. That’s a fun little twist! Fantastic!!!! I’ll take mine with vanilla ice cream.
I am all about this skillet cobbler – no matter what the temperature. Especially with all those hazelnuts.
I love cobblers. I always want to say it’s too hot for them too, and cave every time. Peach and cherry is such a fantastic fruit combination! I’ve always topped mine with vanilla ice cream….will definitely have to try your whipped cream trick
I’m so jealous of your big cast iron skillet…
Oh yes please
I love peach in desserts, and this cobbler looks fantastic Kate! !!
So yummy. Who can resist making a cobbler?
It tickles me this is baked in a skillet.
wow cobbler in a skillet? awesomeeeee!! and i love peach in dessert. this is just delish, kate!
It looks delicious! Once again – your pictures are lovely as the dish!
I love peach cobbler and always make it during the summer. I also will make blueberry cobbler with the 40 pounds of blueberries I pick each summer. The only bad thing…..I EAT THE WHOLE THING BY MYSELF…..IN 1 1/2 DAYS……..
Looks so yummy. And my two fave fruits in it. Must try this one out. If it’s ever cool enough here to turn on the oven. I wonder if it could be done on the grill.
Oh goodness Kate… That looks SO good! I love that you baked it in the skillet! Awesome idea!
I love hot cobbler, and now it’s winter here, so it’s the best opportunity to try to make this at home.
Thanks for sharing.
Oh, this look so good. I see peaches everywhere now. I love cobblers. Thanks for sharing!
This looks amazing and I love that you made it in a cast iron skillet. It is such a wonderful picture as well.
Sounds delicious! So pretty! Congrats on the Top 9 the other day!
I really need to get a cast iron skillet so that I can make this dessert. Your pictures are so yummy!
Um yes please! This kind of treat get’s me in trouble. Midnight munchies roll around & all I break out is a spoon & by morning it’s gone! lol Buzzzz
It’s never too hot for cobbler, especially if ice cream is involved! I adore the addition of the hazelnuts and think that was pure genius. Much better than Nutella, trust me.
I prefer crisps but the texture of your cobbler looks great with the ground hazelnuts!
Hey man, I’m all about the peach cobbler but where’s the nutella pizza of which you speak!!??
Lovely! It might be hot outside, but I can totally imagine myself eating this in the evening, on the patio, after a long day
Looks like a delicious recipe! The fresh fruits from the farmers market must of added a special touch to the cobblers! =]
