Lemon Cobbler

A tangy, sweet, and buttery dessert with a golden crust and gooey lemon filling—this cobbler is sunshine baked into a dish.

Ingredients

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 ½ cups granulated sugar, divided

2 tsp baking powder

¼ tsp salt

1 cup milk

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 (21 oz) can lemon pie filling or lemon curd

Instructions

Preheat Oven:

Heat oven to 350°F (175°C). Pour melted butter into a 9×13-inch baking dish.

Make the Batter:

In a bowl, whisk together flour, 1 cup sugar, baking powder, salt, milk, and vanilla until smooth.

Assemble the Cobbler:

Pour the batter over the melted butter—do not stir.

Spoon lemon pie filling evenly over the batter—again, do not stir. (The layers will bake into a cobbler texture.)

Bake:

Sprinkle remaining ½ cup sugar over the top. Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until golden and bubbly.

Serve:

Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

Tip: For extra brightness, add freshly grated lemon zest to the batter before baking.

Yield: 8–10 servings

Total Time: ~50 minutes
