Granny's Cobbler

A jar of pineapple chunks sitting on the shelf was begging to be used today. It has been waiting there to top a dish that I had never made before, so today was the day. It wasn't quite a quart as was called for in the recipe but covered the top very well. Of course I saved the juice!

Granny's Cobbler

1 stick butter
1 C. milk
1 C. sugar...
1 C. flour
1 tsp. baking powder
Dash of salt
1 qt. (4 cups) fruit, sweetened (peaches, cherries, blackberries, etc.)

Melt butter in baking pan. Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and milk. Pour batter in pan on top of butter; cover with fruit. Do not stir; batter will rise to top as it bakes and absorb the flavor of the fruit. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour. Serve warm with whipped cream or ice cream. So easy!

Note: A 9" by 13" baking dish can be used.
If using canned fruit, drain fruit. If using fresh fruit, sweeten with a bit of sugar to desired sweetness. (I use 1/8 cup)

I admit to adding a sprinkle of both nutmeg and cinnamon over the top before baking. WOW! Sooooooo Good!
