Ingredients
Instructions
- Melt butter in a large baking dish.
- Mix sifted dry ingredients with milk to form batter.

- Pour the fruit over the top of the batter.
- Sprinkle with 1/2 cup sugar on top.
- Bake at 400°F for 45 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using unsalted butter and adding a splash of vanilla extract to the batter. You can substitute the fruit with berries or even a mix of seasonal fruits for a different taste. If you're out of milk, almond milk or oat milk can work well as alternatives. Ensure that the butter is hot enough before pouring the batter to create a crispy edge, similar to the texture found in Vegetable Scallop.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this cobbler warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an indulgent treat. It pairs beautifully with Tea Cakes(Aunt Evie'S) for a delightful dessert spread. Consider adding a sprinkle of cinnamon on top for extra warmth. Enjoy it as a comforting dessert after a hearty meal, or as a sweet treat during a casual gathering.
Storage & Reheating
To store leftovers, cover the cobbler tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave for 30-45 seconds or warm the entire dish in the oven at 350°F until heated through. This dessert is best enjoyed fresh, but reheating brings back its delightful flavors.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen fruit instead of fresh?
Yes, frozen fruit can be used, but be sure to thaw and drain any excess liquid before layering it over the batter. This will help maintain the right consistency in your cobbler. If using frozen fruit, you may want to add a tablespoon of cornstarch to help thicken any juices released during baking.
What can I use instead of flour for a gluten-free option?
For a gluten-free version, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Ensure that the blend includes xanthan gum for proper texture. Almond flour or coconut flour can also be used, but they may require adjustments in liquid content to achieve the right batter consistency.
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. Keep an eye on it towards the end of the baking time to prevent over-browning. If the edges are browning too quickly, you can cover them with aluminum foil.
