Ingredients
Instructions
- Melt the butter or oleo in a pan.
- Add milk, sugar, and self-rising flour to the pan and mix well.
- Pour the mixture into a baking dish.
- Add 2 cans of fruit on top of the batter.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using unsalted butter instead of oleo. If you don't have self-rising flour, you can make your own by combining all-purpose flour with baking powder and salt. For added texture, try mixing in some rolled oats or nuts into the batter. This pie dough is versatile, so feel free to experiment with different fruits based on what's in season or what you have on hand.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this cobbler warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream on top for a delightful contrast. It pairs beautifully with Orange Delight Congealed Salad for a refreshing side. For a cozy brunch, consider serving it alongside a slice of Gramp'S Farm Banana Bread for a comforting spread.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover cobbler in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 15-20 minutes or until warmed through. You can also microwave individual portions for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, but the oven method helps maintain the 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 excess liquid before adding it to the batter. This helps prevent the cobbler from becoming too watery. Frozen berries, peaches, or cherries work particularly well in this recipe.
What can I substitute for sugar if I want a healthier option?
You can substitute sugar with honey, maple syrup, or a sugar alternative like stevia. Keep in mind that liquid sweeteners may alter the consistency, so you may need to adjust the amount of milk in the recipe accordingly.
How do I know when the cobbler is done baking?
The cobbler is done when the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. It should also be bubbly around the edges. Keep an eye on it, as baking times can vary depending on your oven.
