Perfect for life’s busiest days, the Busy Day Cobbler is a quick and easy dessert that doesn’t skimp on flavor. Combining a simple homemade batter with the natural sweetness of fresh or frozen fruit, this one-pan wonder comes together in just 15 minutes of prep time. The magic happens in the oven, where a layer of rich melted butter allows the batter to rise through the fruit, creating a golden, tender crust. Sprinkle on a touch of brown sugar and cinnamon for a caramelized finish that’s impossible to resist. Whether you choose juicy peaches, tart berries, or crisp apples, this cobbler is the ideal comforting treat for weeknight dinners, potlucks, or impromptu gatherings. Serve it warm, topped with a luscious scoop of vanilla ice cream for the ultimate dessert experience.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Melt the unsalted butter and pour it into a 9x13-inch baking dish, spreading it to coat the bottom evenly.
Add the milk and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until a smooth batter forms.
Pour the batter over the melted butter in the baking dish. Do NOT stir.
Evenly spread the fruit over the top of the batter. If using frozen fruit, no need to thaw beforehand.
Sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon (if using) evenly over the fruit.
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.
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.
