Ingredients
Instructions

- Place fruit on top of the mixture until it is fully covered.
- Bake at 350° for 30 to 45 minutes or until browned.
Tips & Substitutions
To enhance flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon to the batter. If you don't have self-rising flour, you can substitute with all-purpose flour plus 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and a pinch of salt. This cobbler works well with various fruits; try peaches, blueberries, or even mixed berries for a delightful twist.
Serving Suggestions
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream on top for a delightful treat. This cobbler pairs beautifully with Candy Ice Cream Pie(Easy!) for a fun dessert spread. You can also enjoy it as a breakfast dish with a side of yogurt for a sweet start to your day.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place individual portions in the microwave for about 30 seconds or in the oven at 350° for 10-15 minutes until warmed through. This ensures the cobbler remains soft and delicious.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen fruit for this cobbler?
Yes, you can use frozen fruit! Just make sure to thaw and drain any excess liquid before adding it to the cobbler to avoid a soggy texture. Frozen berries, peaches, or apples work particularly well.
What if I don't have butter?
If you're out of butter, you can substitute it with an equal amount of vegetable oil or melted coconut oil. This change will still yield a moist and delicious cobbler, though it may slightly alter the flavor.
How do I know when the cobbler is done baking?
The cobbler is done when the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Keep an eye on it after 30 minutes, as baking times can vary based on your oven and the type of fruit used.
