Why You’ll Love This Peach Cobbler Recipe
- It has a nice smoky flavor that adds so much depth and deliciousness. It really is the best smoked dessert.
- Made with fresh, ripe peaches that DO NOT have to be peeled. Peeling peaches is such a pain and I find it completely unnecessary for this recipe.

- It has a crispy, crunchy cookie like topping that is NEVER soggy!

Serving Smoked Peach Cobbler
I love eating this peach cobbler as is because it is a star on it’s own. But, I can say it also tastes great with a vanilla ice cream and caramel drizzled over the top. You can also top it with honey, whipped cream, maple syrup, etc. You really can’t go wrong.
Best Woods for Smoking a Peach Cobbler
For this recipe I used a mixture of Apple and Competition Blend pellets by Pit Boss. I recommend delicate flavored pellets for desserts: cherry, maple, apple, pecan, or a combination. Pellets like mesquite or hickory tend to be overpowering for smoking desserts like this one. And don’t be concerned, a distinct smoke flavor builds in this Peach Cobbler.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’s)
No worries, just bake it in the oven (350° F for 35 minutes, the same as if you were smoking it).
Yes! This recipe works great with plums, different types of berries, and even apples. Keep in mind the baking time may vary depending on how soft or hard the fruit is.
No, don’t bother. There is enough moisture from the peaches that this does not dry out. In fact, having the water pan filled will keep your cobbler topping too moist and from crisping up.
I prefer fresh peaches because it tastes the best but you could use canned peaches. Be sure to strain the peaches from the syrup before using them. I do not recommend frozen peaches because they have a high water content (even when thawed). You don’t want your Smoked Peach Cobbler to be watery.

An this be made in a aluminum pan instead of cast iron?
Hi Christina!
If you do not have cast iron, I recommend glass or stoneware type dishes. Aluminum can leave a “tin-like” taste. Hope this helps!

Who knew cobbler was even better when smoked? My goodness we all loved this!
I had never thought to smoke fruit until I came across your recipe. Delicious! You’re right, it really adds some depth that you just can’t get from the oven.
I was intrigued by the smoking process that I brought your recipe to my neighbor with a smoker, and I am so happy I did. Delicious! Everyone loved it. I should have made more. Next time.
Thank you for the inspiration.
Wow! Smoking really added a whole other dimension of flavor to this recipe. It was a real winner enjoyed by all!
I was looking for a recipe to bake in my new cast iron skillet and I stumbled upon this cobbler. I am elated that I did! I’d never used my (husband’s) smoker for dessert before and we were blown away.
