Fruit Cobbler: an amazing dessert to make this summer

Planning on hosting barbecues, picnics, or a 4th of July bash this summer? Don't forget the fruit cobbler! Made with a light, fluffy batter baked in melted butter and topped with seasonal fresh fruits, cobbler is a fabulous dessert to make this summer.

Fruit cobbler is wonderful thanks to its versatility. Use any type of seasonal fruit to make your cobbler. Berries, peaches, apples, nectarines, or a mixture of any summer fruits. Make your homemade fruit cobbler truly special by serving it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of homemade whipped cream.

Tips for Making Easy Fruit Cobbler

Whole milk is best for this recipe as it gives the richest flavor. You can use low-fat or plant-based milk instead. For an even more decadent cobbler, use heavy cream.

You can add spices to the batter for extra flavor. Cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice are excellent choices and go well with almost all fruits.

No fresh fruit? Use one 12-ounce package of frozen fruit of your choice.
