Ingredients
Instructions
- Melt butter in a baking dish.
- Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and milk together.
- Pour batter over melted butter.
- Pour pie filling or fresh fruit over the batter without stirring.
- Bake at 350°F for 45 to 50 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using unsalted butter and adding a splash of vanilla extract to the batter. You can substitute the milk with almond milk or coconut milk for a dairy-free option. Fresh or frozen fruit works well; if using frozen, let it thaw slightly first. This cobbler mix can also be adapted with different fruits like peaches or berries, reminiscent of Southern Sweet Potato Delight.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the cobbler warm, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for a delightful contrast. It pairs beautifully with S & W Chess Pie(Old Charlotte) for a classic dessert spread. Enjoy it as a comforting breakfast treat or a sweet ending to a meal.
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 warm in an oven at 350°F until heated through. This way, the cobbler retains its texture and flavor.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use different types of fruit for this cobbler?
Absolutely! This recipe is versatile and can accommodate various fruits like peaches, cherries, or even apples. Just keep in mind that some fruits may release more juice than others, which can affect the final texture.
What is the best way to tell when the cobbler is done baking?
The cobbler is done when the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the batter comes out clean. If it jiggles in the center, give it a few more minutes in the oven.
Can I prepare the batter in advance?
While it's best to bake the cobbler fresh, you can prepare the dry ingredients ahead of time. Store them in an airtight container, and when ready to bake, simply mix in the wet ingredients and proceed with the recipe.
