Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups canned or fresh fruit (e.g., peaches, berries, or apples), including syrup if canned
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Place the butter in a 9x13-inch baking dish and put the dish in the oven until the butter is melted. This should take 4-5 minutes. Keep an eye on it to avoid burning.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Add the milk and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients, and stir until a smooth batter forms.
Carefully remove the baking dish with the melted butter from the oven. Pour the batter evenly over the melted butter. Do not stir.
Evenly distribute the fruit over the batter. If using canned fruit, include a bit of the syrup for extra sweetness. Again, do not stir; the batter will rise around the fruit as it bakes.
If desired, sprinkle ground cinnamon over the top for added flavor.
Bake 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.
Allow the cobbler to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Serve warm, optionally topped with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
