Ingredients

• 2 cups mincemeat filling
• 1.25 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.5 cups milk
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• None optional: whipped cream or vanilla ice cream

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or similar-sized casserole dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

Spread the mincemeat filling evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg.

Step 4

Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, mix together the milk and vanilla extract. Gradually pour the milk mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly thick and lumpy.

Step 6

Drop spoonfuls of the cobbler batter evenly over the mincemeat filling, leaving a few small gaps for the filling to peek through.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and cooked through. A toothpick inserted into the cobbler topping should come out clean.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly for 10 minutes before serving.

Step 9

Serve warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired, for an extra indulgent treat.
