Ingredients

• 1 medium (about 4 cups cubed) ripe cantaloupe
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 cup (melted) unsalted butter
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.

Step 2

Cut the cantaloupe into bite-sized cubes (around 4 cups total) and place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Add 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon to the cantaloupe. Mix until the cantaloupe is evenly coated, and set aside for 10 minutes to release its juices.

Step 4

Pour the cantaloupe mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 5

In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Mix well.

Step 6

Add 1 cup whole milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until you have a smooth batter.

Step 7

Pour the batter evenly over the cantaloupe mixture in the baking dish. Do not stir.

Step 8

Drizzle the melted butter (1/4 cup) evenly over the batter.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.

Step 11

Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
