Instructions:

1. Prep the Smoker

  • Preheat your drum smoker to 300°F (149°C).

  • Add a small chunk of peach or apple wood for a light smoke flavor.

2. Make the Filling

  • Toss sliced peaches with brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and cornstarch.

  • Pour into a greased cast iron skillet or foil pan.

3. Mix the Topping

  • In a bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

  • Stir in milk and melted butter until just combined (don’t overmix).

  • Spoon batter evenly over peach mixture — it will spread as it bakes.

4. Smoke It

  • Place pan in smoker over indirect heat.

  • Bake for 45–60 minutes, or until golden brown on top and bubbling around the edges.

  • Rotate halfway through for even cooking.

5. Rest & Serve

  • Let cool for 10–15 minutes.

  • Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
