Description

Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cans (21 oz or 595 g) pie filling (cherry, peach, blueberry, or apple)
- 1 box (15.25 oz or 432 g) yellow or white cake mix
- ½ cup (115 g or 1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preparation: Position oven rack centrally and preheat to 350F (175C) for optimal baking environment.
- Setup: Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent adherence and facilitate easy serving.
- Foundation: Spread fruit pie filling evenly across the dish, creating a vibrant fruity base that will define the cobbler’s essence.
- Coverage: Uniformly sprinkle dry cake mix over the fruit layer, ensuring complete and consistent distribution for a textural masterpiece.
- Enrichment: Drizzle melted butter across the cake mix, allowing it to penetrate and create a golden, crisp topology that will transform during baking.
- Baking Process: Place in preheated oven and rotate midway through cooking to guarantee even browning and prevent potential burning.
- Doneness Check: Bake for 45-50 minutes until the surface achieves a deep amber hue and fruit edges become effervescent, signaling perfect completion.
- Resting and Serving: Remove from oven and allow brief stabilization, then serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a luxurious finish.
Notes
- Prevent Uneven Baking: Rotate the baking dish midway through cooking to ensure consistent golden-brown color and prevent potential burnt spots.
- Butter Distribution Technique: Pour melted butter slowly and evenly across the cake mix to create a uniform, crispy top layer that guarantees perfect texture.
- Fruit Selection Flexibility: Experiment with different pie fillings like cherry, peach, or blueberry to customize the cobbler’s flavor profile and keep the recipe exciting.
- Moisture Control: Let the cobbler rest for 10-15 minutes after baking to allow the filling to set and prevent a runny, overly liquid dessert texture.
