Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Place the butter in a 9x9-inch (or similar-sized) baking dish. Put the dish in the preheating oven to melt the butter.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together to combine evenly.
Add the milk and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until a smooth batter forms.
Carefully remove the baking dish from the oven once the butter is melted. Pour the batter evenly over the melted butter. Do not stir.
Sprinkle the fruit evenly over the batter. If desired, sprinkle ground cinnamon and a little additional sugar over the fruit for extra flavor and sweetness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the batter rises up around the fruit and turns golden brown.
Remove the cobbler from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
