Ingredients

• 6 cups fresh seasonal fruit (e.g., peaches, berries, apples)
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter
• 1 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 1 cups whole milk
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon (optional)
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Prepare the fruit filling: Wash and prepare your seasonal fruit, peeling if necessary and cutting into bite-sized pieces.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, combine the fruit, 0.5 cups of granulated sugar (reserving the remaining 0.25 cups for the batter), and lemon juice. Mix well and set aside.

Step 4

Place the butter in a 9x13-inch baking dish and put it in the oven to melt as the oven preheats. Keep an eye on it to ensure the butter doesn’t burn.

Step 5

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and remaining 0.25 cups of sugar.

Step 6

Add the milk and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients, stirring until a smooth batter forms.

Step 7

Carefully remove the baking dish with the melted butter from the oven. Pour the batter evenly over the butter without stirring. The batter will creep over the butter to create the crust during baking.

Step 8

Spread the prepared fruit mixture evenly over the batter. Do not stir.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Bake the cobbler in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbly.

Step 11

Allow the cobbler to cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
