Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups canned fruit cocktail (in juice or syrup)
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 cup milk
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Place the unsalted butter in a 9x13-inch baking dish and transfer the dish to the oven. Allow the butter to melt while the oven is preheating, about 5 minutes. Remove the dish once the butter is fully melted.
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and baking powder. Mix well.
Gradually stir in the milk to the dry ingredients, mixing until a smooth batter forms.
Pour the batter evenly over the melted butter in the baking dish. Do not stir; this creates a layered effect during baking.
Evenly spoon the canned fruit cocktail (including the juice or syrup) over the batter. Again, do not stir.
Optionally, sprinkle ground cinnamon evenly over the top for extra flavor.
Bake the cobbler in the preheated oven for 40–45 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the batter comes out clean.
Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
Serve the Fruit Cocktail Cobbler warm on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful dessert.
