Ingredients
Instructions
- Melt butter in a casserole dish.
- Stir in flour, sugar, baking powder, milk, and salt until all lumps are gone.
- Dump fruit pie filling or fruit on top without stirring it in.
- Bake at 350°F for 1 hour.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using browned butter instead of regular melted butter. You can substitute the fruit pie filling with fresh or frozen fruit, such as peaches or berries, if desired. If you prefer a gluten-free option, use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend. Keep an eye on the baking time, as ovens may vary, and adjust as needed.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the cobbler warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream on top for a delightful treat. It pairs beautifully with Peach Congeal Salad for a well-rounded dessert experience. This dish is perfect for summer gatherings or casual family dinners and can be enjoyed on its own or alongside a cup of coffee.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place individual portions in the microwave for about 30 seconds or until warmed through. Alternatively, you can reheat in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes for a crispy top.
