🥧 Easy Fruit Cobbler 🥧

This Easy Fruit Cobbler is a simple yet delicious dessert that can be made with any of your favorite fruits. It’s perfect for a quick and comforting treat.

📋 Ingredients:

  • 🍑 4 cups fresh or frozen fruit (such as peaches, berries, apples, or a mix)
  • 🍬 1 cup granulated sugar (divided)
  • 🥄 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 🌾 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 🥄 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 🧂 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 🥛 1 cup milk
  • 🧈 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 🌿 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

📝 Directions:

Prepare the Fruit:

  1. Preheat Oven:
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Mix Fruit and Sugar:
    In a large bowl, combine the fruit, 1/2 cup of the granulated sugar, and the lemon juice. Stir well and set aside.

Prepare the Batter:

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients:
    In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, the remaining 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients:
    Stir in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until just combined. The batter will be slightly lumpy, which is fine.

Assemble the Cobbler:

  1. Pour Batter:
    Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
  2. Add Fruit:
    Spoon the fruit mixture evenly over the batter. Do not stir; the batter will rise around the fruit as it bakes.

Bake:

  1. Bake Cobbler:
    Bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Serve:

  1. Cool Slightly:
    Allow the cobbler to cool for a few minutes before serving.
  2. Serve Warm:
    Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
