Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine flour, sugar, and milk in a mixing bowl.
- Add melted butter and the egg to the mixture.
- Pour the batter over the prepared fruit in a baking pan.
- Bake at 350°F for 30 minutes until golden and bubbly.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the batter. If you're out of whole milk, you can substitute with almond or oat milk for a dairy-free version. For added texture, toss the fruit with a tablespoon of cornstarch before pouring the batter over it. This will help thicken any juices released during baking.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the cobbler warm, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast. It pairs beautifully with Ice Cream Sundae Dessert for a sweet treat. For a more rustic touch, sprinkle some powdered sugar on top before serving. Fresh whipped cream also makes a lovely addition.
Storage & Reheating
To store leftovers, cover the cobbler with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate for up to three days. To reheat, place individual portions in the microwave for about 30 seconds, or warm the entire cobbler in a preheated oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes until heated through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen fruit instead of fresh for this cobbler?
Yes, you can use frozen fruit! Just ensure to thaw and drain any excess liquid before using to avoid a soggy cobbler. You may want to adjust the baking time slightly, as frozen fruit may require a few extra minutes to cook through.

In addition to berries and peaches, you can experiment with plums, cherries, or apples. Each fruit brings its own unique flavor, making this a versatile recipe. Mixing different fruits can also create a delicious flavor combination.
