Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 cups fresh or frozen fruit (such as peaches, berries, or apples)
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon (optional, for topping)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Step 3
Melt the unsalted butter and pour it into a 9x13-inch baking dish, spreading it to coat the bottom evenly.
Step 4
Add the milk and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until a smooth batter forms.
Step 5
Pour the batter over the melted butter in the baking dish. Do NOT stir.
Step 6
Evenly spread the fruit over the top of the batter. If using frozen fruit, no need to thaw beforehand.
Step 7
Sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon (if using) evenly over the fruit.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the batter comes out clean.
Step 9
Allow the cobbler to cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
