Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 cups fresh or frozen fruit (e.g., peaches, berries, or cherries)
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Place the butter in a 9x13-inch baking dish and put it in the oven for about 5 minutes, or until completely melted. Remove the dish from the oven and set aside.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.
Gradually stir in the milk and vanilla extract to form a smooth batter.
Pour the batter evenly over the melted butter in the baking dish. Do not stir; the batter will float on top of the butter.
In a separate bowl, toss the fruit with the brown sugar and cinnamon (if using) until well-coated.
Evenly distribute the fruit mixture over the batter in the baking dish. Again, do not stir; the batter will rise up around the fruit as it bakes.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Remove the cobbler from the oven and allow it to cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.
Serve warm, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
