Ingredients

• 1 stick unsalted butter
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup milk
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 pinch salt
• 2 cups fresh or canned fruit (e.g., peaches, berries, or cherries)
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon (optional, for topping)
• 1 tablespoon turbinado sugar or granulated sugar (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Place the stick of butter in a 9x13-inch baking dish and put it in the oven to melt while the oven is preheating. Keep an eye on it to avoid browning or burning.

Step 3

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 4

Stir in the milk slowly to create a smooth batter. Do not overmix.

Step 5

Once the butter is fully melted, carefully remove the baking dish from the oven. Pour the batter evenly over the melted butter. Do not stir; the batter will naturally spread out.

Step 6

Evenly scatter the fresh or canned fruit (and its juices, if using canned) over the batter.

Step 7

If desired, sprinkle the ground cinnamon and turbinado sugar over the top for extra flavor and texture.

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. The edges should be slightly crispy.

Step 9

Allow the cobbler to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving to allow it to set.

Step 10

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