Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15 oz canned fruit cocktail (drained)
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Place the butter in a 9x13-inch baking dish and melt it in the preheating oven. Once melted, carefully remove the dish from the oven.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir well to ensure all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
Add the milk to the dry ingredients and stir until a smooth batter forms. Avoid overmixing.
Pour the batter evenly over the melted butter in the baking dish. Do not mix; the butter will naturally move to the edges as it bakes.
Evenly distribute the drained canned fruit cocktail over the batter. If using, sprinkle cinnamon over the top for added flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40–45 minutes or until the cobbler topping is golden brown and bubbly.
Remove the cobbler from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
