Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter
- 0.75 cups milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups fresh or frozen fruit (e.g., peaches, berries, or cherries)
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar (optional, for topping)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional, for flavor)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Place the 0.5 cups of unsalted butter in a 9x13-inch baking dish and let it melt in the preheating oven. Keep an eye on this so it doesn’t burn.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Slowly add the milk and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients, stirring until smooth. The batter will be slightly runny.
Once the butter has melted in the baking dish, carefully remove it from the oven. Pour the batter evenly over the melted butter. Do not stir—let the butter and batter layer naturally.
Distribute the fruit evenly over the batter. Again, do not stir. The batter will rise up as it bakes and encase the fruit.
If using brown sugar and ground cinnamon, mix them together in a small bowl and sprinkle the mixture over the fruit for added sweetness and flavor.
Bake the cobbler in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and cooked through. The batter will rise and create a ‘crazy’ crust that surrounds the fruit.
Remove from the oven and let the cobbler cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
Serve warm on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
