Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and place butter in a 9×13-inch baking pan to melt while the oven heats.

Step 2: Make the Batter

In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and milk until smooth and well combined.

Step 3: Pour Batter into Pan

Once the butter has melted and the oven is ready, carefully pour the batter into the pan over the melted butter. Do not stir.

Step 4: Add the Fruit

Spoon the canned pie filling evenly over the top of the batter, keeping it on the surface.

Step 5: Bake the Cobbler

Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the cobbler is golden brown and bubbling. Serve warm for the best flavor.

• Use Fresh Fruit: Replace canned filling with 3–4 cups of fresh berries or peaches mixed with ½ cup sugar.

• Make It Extra Rich: Add a splash of vanilla or almond extract to the batter.

• Top It Off: Serve with whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, or a drizzle of caramel sauce.

• Try Different Flavors: Cherry, peach, blueberry, or apple pie filling all work beautifully.
