    How to Make Smoked Peach Cobbler, Step-by-Step

    Preheat your Z Grills pellet smoker to 300˚F

    For this recipe, we cooked the smoked peach cobbler on the Z Grills 700D4E pellet grill. Get this grill fired up at 300˚F using the Z Grills Cherry BBQ Grill Pellets.

    Make the peach cobbler finish

    In a bowl, goes 4 peaches that have been evenly sliced. Add half a cup of light brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of corn starch, and a pinch of salt to your peaches, mixing thoroughly to ensure that they’re fully coated.

    Scoop your peach cobbler mixture into an 8-inch cast iron pan, spreading it out evenly.

    Make the peach cobbler crust

    In a separate bowl, add ¾ cup of flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 4 tablespoons of butter, 1 tablespoon of milk, and a pinch of salt. Mix these with a fork until the mixture is of a crumble consistency, sparingly adding more milk if necessary.

    Assemble and grill your smoked peach cobbler

    Sprinkle the crumble mixture evenly on top of the peaches. Then, top this with an extra sprinkling of cinnamon and white sugar for an added crunch and flavor.

    Once your Z Grills pellet smoker is at 300˚F, place the skillet onto the smoker and close the lid, ready to smoke your peach cobbler on the grill.

    Check on the peach cobbler after 40 minutes

    After approximately 40 minutes of cooking on the pellet grill, your smoked peach cobbler should be ready. If the topping has browned up and the peach filling is bubbling around the edges, this means it’s time to remove it from the grill.

    Tips for Making Smoked Peach Cobbler

    How long does it take to smoke a peach cobbler?

    For this recipe, it took around 40 minutes for the peach cobbler to smoke at 300˚F. To double check that it’s done cooking, a probe thermometer should show an internal temperature of 200˚F, the peach cobbler crust should be golden brown, and the peach mixture should be bubbling around the sides.

    If you want a gooier consistency, feel free to experiment by lowering the heat. We prefer the crispier edges achieved from cooking the peach cobbler on the grill at a higher temperature, but this depends on your preference.

    What are the best wood pellets for smoked peach cobbler?

    We recommend using the Z Grills wood pellets for this recipe, which work perfectly with the 700D4E smoker.

    You don’t want a pellet that is too overpowering for this bake, so we recommend using cherry pellets to subtly enhance the sweetness. Apple pellets also pair nicely with the smoked peach cobbler’s fruity flavor.

    How small should I chop my peaches?

    If you prefer smaller slices in your cobbler, don’t be afraid to chop them finely into cubes. However, we recommend using slightly bigger slices to retain the juicy flavor of this sumptuous, healthy peach cobbler.

    How do you achieve the perfect peach cobbler crust?

    The peach cobbler crust should be the star of the show, so you’ll want this to be as crumbly as possible. The key is to keep your butter at room temperature, as cold butter will be impossible to combine, and melted butter will soak right into the mixture.

    We also recommend cutting your butter into cubes, as these smaller pieces will help it to mix better with the dry ingredients and create pockets of crumble.

    What to Serve with Smoked Peach Cobbler?

    A healthy peach cobbler is a scrumptious dessert that could follow up any evening meal, whether you’re dining alone or feeding the entire family.

    Since this peach cobbler recipe is cooked on the Z Grills 700D4E, we recommend pairing it with a dish that also uses this and cooking them simultaneously for an even easier method of how to make a peach cobbler.
