Ingredients
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a glass dish.

- Pour the batter over the melted butter.
- Add the fruit over the batter.
- Bake at 350°F for 45 to 60 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter texture, consider using cake flour instead of self-rising flour. You can also substitute almond milk for a dairy-free option. If using canned fruit, drain excess juice to prevent a soggy cobbler. Adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter can enhance the flavor profile. This recipe is versatile; try different fruits like cherries or blueberries for variation.
Serving Suggestions
Serve warm, optionally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a delightful contrast. This cobbler pairs beautifully with Peach Sour Cream Cake for a delicious dessert spread. Fresh whipped cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce can also elevate the presentation and flavor, making for an impressive treat at gatherings.
Storage & Reheating
To store leftovers, cover the cobbler tightly with plastic wrap or transfer it to an airtight container. It can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place individual portions in the microwave for about 30 seconds or warm the entire dish in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 15 minutes until heated through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen fruit instead of fresh?
Yes, frozen fruit can be used as a substitute. Just ensure to thaw and drain any excess liquid before adding it to the batter to maintain the cobbler's texture. This makes it easy to enjoy summer fruits year-round!
How do I know when the cobbler is done baking?
The cobbler is done when the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the edges are browning too quickly, you can cover the dish loosely with aluminum foil to prevent burning while allowing the center to cook through.
Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
You can prepare the batter and fruit ahead of time, but it's best to assemble and bake it just before serving for optimal texture. Alternatively, bake it ahead and reheat as needed. Leftovers can be stored and enjoyed for a few days, making it a great option for meal prep.
