Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 can (21 oz) lemon pie filling
- 1 cup (240 ml) milk
- 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (113 g) unsalted butter, melted
Supporting Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon lemon extract
Garnish:
- 1 fresh lemon, thinly sliced
Instructions
- Warm your oven to 350°F (175°C). Coat a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
- Combine 1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon salt in a mixing bowl. Whisk these dry ingredients thoroughly.
- Pour 1 cup milk and ½ cup melted butter into the dry mixture. Stir gently until ingredients blend smoothly. Mix in 1 teaspoon lemon extract.
- Transfer the liquid batter into your prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly across the surface.
- Carefully dollop the entire 21-oz can of lemon pie filling over the batter. Do not mix or stir the layers.
- Place the dish in the preheated 350°F oven. Bake for 40-45 minutes until your cobbler develops a golden-brown, crispy top.
- Remove from oven and allow the cobbler to rest for 10 minutes. Decorate with thin lemon slices from one fresh lemon before serving.
- Serve warm alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of fresh whipped cream for extra indulgence.
Notes
- Always use room temperature ingredients to help the batter mix smoothly and bake evenly.
- For a gluten-free version, swap regular flour with a cup-for-cup gluten-free baking blend that matches the same weight.
- Fresh lemon juice can replace lemon extract for a more vibrant, natural citrus flavor if you prefer a less intense lemon profile.
- Let the cobbler rest after baking so the layers can set and develop a perfect texture, preventing a runny consistency when serving.
