Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 21-ounce (595 grams) cans pie filling (cherry, peach, blueberry, or apple)
- 1 15.25-ounce (432 grams) box yellow or white cake mix
Butter Ingredient:
- ½ cup (115 grams) unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Position the oven rack in the center and heat to 350F (175C) to ensure uniform baking temperature.
- Coat a 9×13-inch ceramic or glass baking vessel with a light layer of culinary lubricant to prevent sticking.
- Distribute the fruit pie filling across the base of the dish, creating an even, smooth foundation that will serve as the cobbler’s fruity core.
- Generously dust the entire surface with dry cake mix, using gentle sweeping motions to achieve complete and consistent coverage.
- Cascade melted butter across the cake mix layer, allowing it to seep into crevices and create a rich, golden landscape that will transform during baking.
- Transfer the assembled cobbler to the preheated oven, rotating halfway through cooking to promote uniform browning and prevent potential scorching.
- Monitor the dessert for 45-50 minutes, looking for a deep amber-colored surface and effervescent fruit edges signaling perfect doneness.
- Remove from oven and allow a brief resting period to stabilize the molten filling and enhance structural integrity.
- Serve while warm, garnishing with a refreshing scoop of vanilla ice cream or dollop of whipped cream for luxurious contrast.
Notes
- Swap pie fillings like cherry, blueberry, or peach to create endless flavor variations and keep the dessert exciting.
- Use gluten-free cake mix to make this recipe celiac-friendly and accommodate dietary restrictions without compromising taste.
- Sprinkle chopped nuts or coconut flakes over the butter layer for extra crunch and a delightful textural contrast in every bite.
- Cool the cobbler for exactly 15-20 minutes to achieve the perfect balance between warm, gooey filling and set topping that won’t fall apart when serving.
