Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 can (21 ounces) lemon pie filling
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) milk
- 1 cup (125 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (200 grams) granulated sugar
Supporting Ingredients:
- ½ cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Garnish and Optional Ingredients:
- Zest of 1 lemon
- Powdered sugar
- Fresh lemon slices
- Whipped cream
- Vanilla ice cream
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Melt ½ cup unsalted butter and pour it directly into a 9×9-inch baking dish without stirring.
- Combine 1 cup flour, 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder, ¼ teaspoon salt, and 1 cup sugar in a mixing bowl. Whisk these dry ingredients thoroughly.
- Pour 1 cup milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract into the dry ingredients. Blend until your batter becomes completely smooth.
- Gently pour the mixed batter over the melted butter in the baking dish. Do not stir or mix the layers.
- Carefully spread the entire 21-oz can of lemon pie filling evenly across the batter’s surface.
- Optionally sprinkle fresh lemon zest over the filling for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
- Transfer the dish to the preheated 350°F oven. Bake for exactly 40-45 minutes until the top turns golden brown and edges become bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and allow the cobbler to rest for 5-10 minutes, letting the layers settle.
- Dust the surface generously with powdered sugar just before serving.
- Serve warm, optionally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
Notes
- Use room temperature ingredients to help the batter blend smoothly and create an even texture.
- Avoid overmixing the batter, which can make the cobbler tough instead of tender and light.
- For a gluten-free version, swap regular flour with a cup-for-cup gluten-free flour blend to keep the same delicate consistency.
- Fresh lemon zest makes a huge difference, so grate it directly before adding to maximize bright, citrusy flavor.
