Lon'S Favorite Cobbler
A warm, fruity cobbler with a tender topping, perfect for cozy desserts or family gatherings, featuring sweet fruit and a cinnamon-sugar crumble.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Melt oleo in a 9 x 9-inch pan and top with fruit.
- Mix flour, sugar, Pet milk, baking powder, and salt to make the batter.
- Pour the batter over the melted oleo and fruit in the pan.
- Mix 1/4 cup sugar with cinnamon and sprinkle over the top.
- Bake at 350°F for 1 hour.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider substituting butter for oleo. You can also experiment with different fruits like peaches or blueberries if you prefer. If you don't have Pet milk, regular milk works just fine. To enhance the topping, add a sprinkle of nutmeg along with the cinnamon. Make sure to mix the batter just until combined to keep the cobbler light and fluffy.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the cobbler warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for added indulgence. It pairs beautifully with Orange Or Grape Sherbet for a refreshing contrast. Enjoy it as a dessert after a hearty meal or as a sweet treat during gatherings with friends and family.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place portions in the microwave for about 30 seconds or until warmed through. Alternatively, you can reheat in the oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes until heated thoroughly, which will help maintain the crispy top.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen fruit for this cobbler?
Yes, frozen fruit can be used in place of fresh or canned fruit. Just ensure to thaw and drain any excess moisture before adding it to the pan, as this can prevent the cobbler from becoming too watery. Adjust the baking time if needed, as frozen fruit may require a bit longer to cook through.
What can I do if I don't have Pet milk?
If you don't have Pet milk, you can substitute it with regular milk, heavy cream, or even almond milk for a dairy-free option. The key is to maintain a similar consistency, so if using a thinner milk, you might want to reduce the amount slightly to prevent the batter from being too runny.
Is there a way to make this recipe gluten-free?
Certainly! To make this cobbler gluten-free, simply replace the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Ensure that the blend includes a binding agent like xanthan gum if it isn’t already included in the mix. This substitution will allow you to enjoy this delicious cobbler without gluten.
