Description

Indulge in the comforting flavors of a Classic Southern Fruit Cobbler, a delightful dessert featuring a medley of fresh or frozen fruits topped with a sweet, buttery batter. This easy-to-make cobbler is a perfect way to enjoy seasonal fruits with a touch of nostalgia.


Ingredients

Fruit Filling:

  • 4 cups fresh or frozen fruit (such as peaches, blackberries, or a mix)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar (divided)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Batter:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

Serving:

  • vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare the fruit: Toss the fruit with 1/4 cup sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract in a large bowl.
  3. Make the batter: In another bowl, combine flour, remaining 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix in milk, then slowly add melted butter.
  4. Assemble the cobbler: Pour the batter into a greased baking dish, top with fruit without stirring. Sprinkle with cinnamon if desired.
  5. Bake: Bake for 40–45 minutes until golden and risen.
  6. Serve: Let cool slightly, then serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

  • You can use any seasonal fruit or a blend.
  • If using frozen fruit, thaw and drain it first.
  • For a less sweet cobbler, reduce the sugar slightly.
