Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Melt margarine and grease a 9x9-inch baking dish.
- Lay the fruit on the melted margarine in the prepared dish.
- In a bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
- Add milk to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined to form a batter.
- Pour the batter evenly over the fruit in the baking dish.
- Bake for 20 to 45 minutes, or until the top is golden and the fruit is bubbling.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, substitute half of the milk with buttermilk or add a teaspoon of vanilla extract. If fresh peaches are not available, canned or frozen peaches work well too—just drain excess liquid. Ensure the melted margarine is evenly distributed to prevent sticking, and adjust the baking time depending on the fruit's moisture content for best results.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the cobbler warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream on top for a delightful contrast. It pairs beautifully with Del Miller'S Double Good Berry Pie for a summer dessert spread. Consider adding a side of fresh fruit salad for a refreshing touch.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place individual portions in the microwave for 30-60 seconds or warm in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes until heated through. This will help maintain the cobbler's texture.
