Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or similar-sized casserole dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
Spread the mincemeat filling evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg.
Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
In a separate bowl, mix together the milk and vanilla extract. Gradually pour the milk mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly thick and lumpy.
Drop spoonfuls of the cobbler batter evenly over the mincemeat filling, leaving a few small gaps for the filling to peek through.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and cooked through. A toothpick inserted into the cobbler topping should come out clean.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly for 10 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired, for an extra indulgent treat.
