Ingredients
Instructions
- Put the oleo in a deep baking dish and place in a 350°F oven to melt.
- Mix the sugar, milk, flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- Pour the batter over the melted oleo without stirring.
- Add the sliced peaches or fresh fruit on top without stirring into the batter.
- Bake for 1 hour until golden and bubbly.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter cobbler, consider using almond milk instead of regular milk. You can substitute the fruit with any canned or fresh options like blueberries or apples. Ensure the oleo is completely melted before adding the batter; this helps create a crispy bottom layer. This recipe is versatile and pairs well with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, reminiscent of classic American recipes.
Serving Suggestions
Serve warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for added indulgence. This cobbler pie is perfect for family gatherings or as a comforting dessert after a meal. It also pairs nicely with a refreshing fruit salad or a slice of Annie Mae'S Pound Cake for a delightful dessert spread.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place individual servings in the microwave for about 30 seconds or until warmed through. Alternatively, reheat in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes to restore its crispiness.
