Canned Fruit And Cake Mix Make For The Quickest Cobbler
BY EMILY BOYETTE
Cobbler is a scrumptious dessert of cake batter, biscuits, or dumplings over a gooey fruit filling. It's already easier to make than a pie, but can be simplified even further.
Instead of cooking down or macerating fresh fruit, use good-quality fruit canned in syrup for your cobbler filling. Cake mix in place of homemade dough also saves time and money.
Add the canned fruit, syrup and all, to a cobbler dish, then sprinkle the dry cake mix on top. Add a sprinkle of cinnamon, ginger, allspice, or other seasonings if you wish.

Don't stir the mixture at all; just put it in the oven and bake until the cake is risen and golden-brown and the fruit is bubbling. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream.
Frozen fruit or canned pie filling are other great instant cobbler fillings. Recommended flavor combos include blueberry filling with lemon cake and apple filling with spice cake.
You can cover leftover cobbler with foil, plastic, or an airtight lid and refrigerate it for up to three days. You can also wrap it tightly with foil and freeze it for four months.
