Cook Time: 45 mins
Total Time: 1 hrs
Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 4 cups mixed fruit (peaches, berries, etc.)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Ensure the oven rack is positioned in the center for even baking.
- Wash and prepare the mixed fruit by cutting larger fruits like peaches into bite-sized pieces. If using frozen berries, let them thaw slightly.
- Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Spread the prepared mixed fruit evenly across the bottom of the greased baking dish.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until well blended.
- Pour in the milk and melted butter, stirring until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. The consistency should be similar to pancake batter.
- Carefully pour the batter over the fruit, ensuring it spreads to cover most of the fruit but does not need to be perfectly even.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the batter comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let the cobbler cool for 15-20 minutes. This allows the fruit to set and makes serving easier.
- Serve warm, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. The cobbler can be stored covered at room temperature for up to 2 days.
Tips
- Choose the Right Fruit: Feel free to mix and match your favorite fruits! Peaches, berries, and even apples work wonderfully in this recipe. Just make sure to cut larger fruits into bite-sized pieces for even cooking.
- Use Fresh or Frozen: If using frozen fruit, let it thaw slightly before adding it to the baking dish. This ensures that the cobbler cooks evenly and prevents excess moisture.
- Don’t Overmix the Batter: When combining the batter ingredients, mix just until smooth. Overmixing can result in a dense texture, so a few lumps are perfectly fine!
- Check for Doneness: Baking times may vary slightly based on your oven. Keep an eye on the cobbler as it bakes; it’s ready when the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the batter comes out clean.
- Let it Cool: Allow the cobbler to cool for 15-20 minutes before serving. This helps the fruit set and makes for easier slicing.
- Serve with a Twist: Elevate your dessert by serving it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for a truly decadent treat!
