Description
Magic Lemon Cobbler is a delightful, tangy dessert that combines rich lemon pie filling with a soft, buttery cobbler crust. As it bakes, the layers magically flip, forming a golden crust with a pudding-like lemon filling below. Easy to make, this dessert is perfect for any occasion and can be topped with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup buttermilk or whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon lemon extract (optional)
- 1 can (21 ounces) lemon pie filling or lemon curd
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Place butter in a 9×9-inch baking dish and melt it in the preheated oven for 3-4 minutes, then remove.
- In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
- Add buttermilk, vanilla, and lemon extract (if using) to the dry ingredients and whisk until smooth.
- Pour batter evenly over the melted butter, without stirring.
- Spoon lemon pie filling or lemon curd evenly over the batter.
- Bake for 45-55 minutes, until the edges are golden brown.
- Let the cobbler cool slightly; the lemon filling will form a pudding-like layer at the bottom.
- Serve warm with whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, or powdered sugar.
Notes
- This recipe can be customized with fresh fruit like berries, or by making it gluten-free using a flour blend.
- For a stronger lemon flavor, add lemon zest to the batter.
