Easiest Cobbler
Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
| Fresh fruit (peaches, berries, or apples, sliced) | 2 cups |
| Granulated sugar (for fruit) | 1/2 cup |
| Lemon juice | 1 tablespoon |
| All-purpose flour | 1 cup |
| Granulated sugar (for batter) | 1 cup |
| Baking powder | 1 tablespoon |
| Salt | 1/2 teaspoon |
| Milk (whole or 2%) | 1 cup |
| Unsalted butter, melted | 1/2 cup |
Step-By-Step Directions:
-
Prep fruit: In a large bowl, combine the sliced fruit, 1/2 cup sugar, and lemon juice. Stir gently to coat and set aside.
-
Mix dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, remaining 1 cup of sugar, baking powder, and salt.
-
Make batter: Pour the milk and melted butter into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined (a few small lumps are okay).
-
Assemble: Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. Pour the batter into the dish and spread evenly. Spoon the fruit mixture gently over the top without stirring.
-
Bake: Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 40 to 45 minutes, until the top crust is golden brown and the edges are bubbling.
-
Cool and serve: Let cool for 10 to 15 minutes before serving warm.
