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.
