Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Cobbler:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, divided
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Topping:

  • 1 can (21 oz) lemon pie filling
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and pour the melted butter into a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Prepare the Batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, 1 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in milk and vanilla until smooth.
  3. Layering: Pour the batter over the melted butter in the dish without stirring. Spoon the lemon pie filling over the batter.
  4. Final Touches: Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup sugar and lemon zest (if using).
  5. Bake: Bake for 45–50 minutes until golden and set, with the filling bubbling through in spots. Cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Serve warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
  • For extra tang, add 1–2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice to the pie filling before baking.
