Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 cups fresh or frozen fruit (such as peaches, berries, or apples)
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Melt the unsalted butter and pour it into a 9x13-inch baking dish, spreading it to coat the bottom evenly.
Add the milk and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until a smooth batter forms.
Pour the batter over the melted butter in the baking dish. Do NOT stir.
Evenly spread the fruit over the top of the batter. If using frozen fruit, no need to thaw beforehand.
Sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon (if using) evenly over the fruit.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the batter comes out clean.
Allow the cobbler to cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
