How to Make Any Fruit Cobbler In A Hurry

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces. Mix until crumbly.
  3. Stir in 1 cup milk until just combined. The dough will be thick.
  4. In a greased 8x8 inch or 9-inch pie pan, add 4 cups of your favorite fruit (fresh or frozen).
  5. Pour the batter over the fruit. Do not spread or flatten.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
  7. Sprinkle the sugar mixture evenly over the batter and fruit.
  8. Pour 1 cup of boiling water gently over the cobbler.
  9. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbly. Let cool slightly before serving.
  10. (Optional) Double the recipe for a larger cobbler.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
