Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups ripe plums
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups whole milk
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch baking dish.
Wash the plums, remove the pits, and slice them into wedges about 1/2-inch thick. Place the sliced plums in a large mixing bowl.
Add 0.5 cups of granulated sugar, lemon juice, flour, and ground cinnamon to the plums. Toss everything together until the plums are evenly coated. Transfer the plum mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
In another mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, remaining 0.25 cups of sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to combine.
Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Add the whole milk and vanilla extract to the flour-butter mixture. Stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Spoon the batter over the plum filling in small dollops, leaving a few gaps to allow the fruit to peek through.
Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the batter for a caramelized topping.
Bake the cobbler in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the plum filling is bubbling around the edges.
Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
