This simple and delicious cobbler is made with just a few ingredients: sugar, flour, milk, and your favorite fruit. It’s quick to prepare and results in a warm, comforting dessert that’s perfect for any occasion. Top it with cinnamon and sugar for an extra touch of sweetness!
Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 can (15 oz) peaches (or your favorite fruit), drained (reserve the juice if desired)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for extra flavor)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Lightly grease a baking dish (an 8×8-inch or similar size works well). - Prepare the Batter:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar, flour, and milk. Stir until smooth and well combined. If desired, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract for enhanced flavor. - Add the Fruit:
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Arrange the drained peach slices (or your favorite fruit) evenly over the top of the batter. If you’d like, drizzle a little of the reserved peach juice over the fruit for extra moisture and sweetness. - Bake:
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes. - Add the Cinnamon-Sugar Topping:
After 15 minutes, remove the cobbler from the oven. In a small bowl, mix together 1 teaspoon of cinnamon and 2 tablespoons of sugar. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the cobbler. - Finish Baking:
Return the cobbler to the oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the edges are bubbly. - Cool and Serve:
Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy it warm on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat!
Tips for Success
- Fruit Options: Feel free to use fresh, frozen, or canned fruit. Try apples, berries, cherries, or pineapple for a different twist.
- Juice Drizzle: If using canned fruit, save some of the juice to drizzle over the batter for added flavor and moisture.
- Sweetness Adjustment: If your fruit is very sweet, you can reduce the sugar in the batter slightly to balance the flavors.
Storage
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave or oven before serving.
This easy cobbler is sure to become a family favorite—simple, sweet, and utterly irresistible!
