Thank You Mother, One Dish Cobbler
A warm, comforting cobbler with a buttery, fruity topping, perfect for family gatherings or casual dessert cravings involving cherry or other pie fillings.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Put sugar, self-rising flour, milk, and melted butter into an ovenproof dish and mix with a spoon until just blended.
- Add the pie filling to the mixture and stir gently.
Tips & Substitutions
For a slightly different flavor, try substituting the cherry pie filling with peach or blueberry. If you don't have self-rising flour, you can make your own by adding 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and a pinch of salt to regular flour. Make sure to mix the batter just until combined to keep the cobbler light and fluffy.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the cobbler warm, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast. It pairs beautifully with Jello-Ice Cream Pudding for a fun dessert spread. For a brunch option, consider serving it alongside Julia'S Quick Potato Salad for a balanced meal.

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place individual portions in the microwave for about 30 seconds, or warm the entire dish in the oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes until heated through.
