Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Melt butter in the bottom of an 8 x 8-inch baking dish.
- Whisk together milk, sugar, and self-rising flour until smooth.

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, try using buttermilk instead of milk with lemon juice. You can also experiment with different fruit pie fillings, such as cherry or peach, to suit your taste. If you don't have self-rising flour, you can make your own by mixing all-purpose flour with baking powder and salt. This cobbler is best enjoyed fresh, but it can be made ahead of time and stored for later.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this delicious fruit cobbler warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream on top. It pairs beautifully with Mammaw'S Corn Bread for a comforting meal. For an even more refreshing dessert, consider serving it alongside a light Fruit Salad(Macaroni Rings) to balance the richness of the cobbler.
Storage & Reheating
To store leftovers, cover the cobbler with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate for up to 3 days. To reheat, place individual portions in the microwave for 30-60 seconds or warm the entire dish in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15 minutes until heated through. Enjoy it warm for the best experience.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh fruit instead of canned pie filling?
Yes, you can use fresh fruit, but you'll need to sweeten it and possibly add a thickener like cornstarch to mimic the consistency of pie filling. Adjust the sugar based on the sweetness of the fruit you choose.
Is it possible to make this recipe gluten-free?
Absolutely! Substitute the self-rising flour with a gluten-free flour blend that includes a leavening agent. Ensure that your pie filling is also gluten-free to keep the entire dish safe for those with gluten sensitivities.
What can I do if I don't have self-rising flour?
If you don't have self-rising flour, you can easily create a substitute by mixing 1 cup of all-purpose flour with 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and a pinch of salt. This will provide the necessary leavening for the cobbler.
