Equipment

  • oven adjusted to the center rack position
  • 11 x 9 baking dish
  • large mixing bowl
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Whisk

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces unsalted butter
  • 21 ounces canned lemon pie filling
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup light brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whole milk

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Add the butter to the bottom of the baking dish and place it in the oven until melted. This took about 5 minutes for me.
    8 ounces unsalted butter
  • In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugars, baking powder, vanilla extract, and milk.
    1 cup all-purpose flour, ½ cup granulated sugar, ½ cup light brown sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 cup whole milk
  • With oven mitts, remove the pan from the oven with the melted butter. Add the batter mixture into the pan; do not mix.
  • Using a rubber spatula, spread the pie filling evenly over the batter and butter mixture.
    21 ounces canned lemon pie filling
  • Return pan to the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes. The cobbler crust will be deep golden brown, firm, and the lemon filling will be bubbly.
  • Serve warm and enjoy!
