Ingredients:
- 1 cup self-rising flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 4 cups fresh or canned fruit (peaches, berries, apples, etc.), drained if using canned
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Prepare the batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the self-rising flour, granulated sugar, and milk until smooth. Add the vanilla extract and ground cinnamon if using, and mix well.
- Add the butter: Pour the melted butter into the prepared baking dish.
- Assemble the cobbler: Pour the batter over the melted butter in the baking dish, but do not stir. Distribute the fruit evenly over the batter. The batter will rise around the fruit as it bakes.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the batter is set.
- Cool and serve: Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
Conclusion and Tips: This easy fruit cobbler is a versatile and crowd-pleasing dessert that can be customized with your favorite fruits. For a slightly tangier taste, try adding a squeeze of lemon juice to the fruit before baking. If you prefer a less sweet cobbler, reduce the amount of sugar in the batter. We can’t wait to hear how this simple yet delightful dessert becomes a favorite in your home!
