Ingredients

• 2 cups canned fruit cocktail (in juice or syrup)
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 cup milk
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Place the unsalted butter in a 9x13-inch baking dish and transfer the dish to the oven. Allow the butter to melt while the oven is preheating, about 5 minutes. Remove the dish once the butter is fully melted.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and baking powder. Mix well.

Step 4

Gradually stir in the milk to the dry ingredients, mixing until a smooth batter forms.

Step 5

Pour the batter evenly over the melted butter in the baking dish. Do not stir; this creates a layered effect during baking.

Step 6

Evenly spoon the canned fruit cocktail (including the juice or syrup) over the batter. Again, do not stir.

Step 7

Optionally, sprinkle ground cinnamon evenly over the top for extra flavor.

Step 8

Bake the cobbler in the preheated oven for 40–45 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the batter comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.

Step 10

Serve the Fruit Cocktail Cobbler warm on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful dessert.
