Ingredients
Instructions
- Melt the oleo in a 9 x 13-inch baking dish.
- In a bowl, mix all ingredients (sweetener, flour, milk) to form a batter.
- Pour the batter into the baking dish with the melted oleo.
- Pour 1 quart of fruit packed in its own juice over the batter.
- Bake at 350°F until the top is browned.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter version, consider using almond flour instead of regular flour, which adds a nutty flavor. If you prefer a different fruit, feel free to substitute with berries or peaches packed in their own juice. To enhance the flavor, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the batter. Keep an eye on the baking time, as it may vary based on the fruit used.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the cobbler warm, optionally topped with a dollop of sugar-free whipped cream or a scoop of sugar-free ice cream. It pairs beautifully with Grandma's Frozen Fruit Salad for a refreshing contrast. This dish can be enjoyed as a dessert or even as a sweet breakfast treat alongside a cup of coffee.
Storage & Reheating
Allow the cobbler to cool completely before storing it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will keep well for up to four days. To reheat, place individual portions in the microwave for about 30 seconds or warm it in the oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes until heated through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen fruit instead of canned?
Yes, frozen fruit can be used in this recipe! Just make sure to thaw and drain it well to avoid excess moisture, which could make the cobbler soggy. The baking time may need slight adjustments, so keep an eye on it as it cooks.
What type of sweetener can I use?
You can use any granulated sweetener that measures like sugar, such as erythritol, stevia, or monk fruit sweetener. Just ensure that the sweetener you choose is suitable for baking and adjust to taste, as some sweeteners may be sweeter than others.
Can I make this recipe dairy-free?
Absolutely! To make it dairy-free, simply substitute the milk with a non-dairy alternative like almond milk, coconut milk, or oat milk. The oleo can also be replaced with a dairy-free margarine or coconut oil for a delicious, creamy texture.
