Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Melt 1/2 stick of margarine in a baking dish.
- In a bowl, mix sugar, flour, baking powder, salt, and milk until well combined.
- Pour the batter into the baking dish over the melted margarine.
- Place fruit of your choice on top of the batter, ensuring not to add too much juice.
- Sprinkle cinnamon on top of the fruit.
- Bake in the oven for 45 minutes until golden and bubbly.
Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the batter. If you don't have margarine, unsalted butter works just as well. You can also substitute whole milk with almond or oat milk for a dairy-free option. To enhance sweetness, you might use brown sugar instead of white sugar, which adds a hint of molasses flavor.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this delightful cobbler warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream on top. It pairs beautifully with Banana Cream Pie(Or Meringue) for a dessert spread. For a more indulgent touch, drizzle some caramel sauce over the cobbler before serving, or enjoy it alongside a cup of coffee for a sweet afternoon treat.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply place individual portions in the microwave for about 30 seconds or warm in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) until heated through. This will help retain the cobbler's texture and prevent it from becoming soggy.
