Southern Peach Cobbler

We recently bought a cast iron skillet, and there are tons of things you can do with it! I love the fact that you can use it in an oven. My dad just bought a ton of peaches, and I thought of peach cobbler immediately, and why not make it in a cast iron skillet? The recipe is super simple, yet oh so delicious!

5 large peaches, peeled and  cut into thin slices

1/4 cup of sugar

1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon

1 teaspoon of lemon juice
