A sweet, tangy, and incredibly easy dessert that creates its own layers as it bakes. This magic lemon cobbler is a refreshing treat for any occasion!”
Ingredients
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup lemon juice (freshly squeezed for best flavor)
1 1/2 cups lemon pie filling (or a homemade lemon curd)
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Place the butter in a 9×13-inch baking dish and melt it in the oven while it preheats. Keep an eye on it to prevent browning.
Step 2: Make the Batter
In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
Gradually add the milk and vanilla extract, whisking until smooth and well combined.
Step 3: Layer the Cobbler
Pour the batter evenly over the melted butter in the baking dish. Do not stir—the butter should remain separate.
Drizzle the lemon juice evenly over the batter.
Spoon the lemon pie filling in dollops across the top of the batter.
Step 4: Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden and the edges are bubbling. The batter will rise up and around the filling, creating a “magic” layered effect.
Step 5: Cool and Serve
Allow the cobbler to cool for about 10 minutes to set slightly.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
