Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine sugar and flour in a bowl.
- Add milk and stir well to create a batter.
- Stir in vanilla extract.
- Pour melted butter into a 13 x 9-inch baking pan.
- Pour the batter over the melted butter in the pan.
- Top with cooked fruit of your choice.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter batter, consider using almond milk instead of regular milk. You can also substitute half the sugar with honey or maple syrup for a different flavor profile. If you don’t have vanilla extract, a dash of almond extract can work well too. Make sure to use fresh or frozen fruit for the best results, and try to avoid overly watery fruits to maintain the texture.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the cobbler warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream on top. It also pairs beautifully with a side of fresh berries or a dollop of yogurt for a delightful contrast. For a twist, consider serving it alongside a slice of Lottie Moon Cookies(Plain Tea Cake) for a sweet treat combination.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover cobbler in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply place individual portions in the microwave for 30-45 seconds, or warm the entire dish in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes until heated through. This will help retain its deliciously warm, comforting texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen fruit for this cobbler?
Yes, you can use frozen fruit! Just make sure to thaw and drain any excess liquid before adding it to the batter, as this can affect the overall texture of the cobbler. Frozen berries, peaches, or apples work particularly well and provide great flavor.
What type of fruit works best for this recipe?
You have plenty of options! Popular choices include peaches, blueberries, or cherries. Cooked fruit that is not too juicy will give the best results, ensuring the cobbler remains firm and delicious. Experiment with combinations to find your favorite flavor!
Can I make this cobbler gluten-free?
Absolutely! To make a gluten-free version, substitute the all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking flour blend. This will maintain the cobbler's texture while accommodating gluten sensitivities. Be sure to check that your other ingredients, such as baking powder, are also gluten-free.
