  • Author: Mary
  • Total Time: 50-55 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings 1x

Description

This Magic Lemon Cobbler is an irresistible dessert featuring a delightful combination of sweet lemon pie filling and a fluffy, buttery topping. With a hint of lemon extract and vanilla, it’s a quick and easy treat that’s perfect for any occasion. The magic happens as it bakes, transforming into a cobbler that’s both comforting and tangy!


Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup (1 stick) butter
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon lemon extract
  • 1 (21-ounce) can lemon pie filling

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

  • Melt Butter: Place the butter in a 9×13-inch baking dish and melt it in the oven while preheating (about 5-10 minutes).

  • Prepare the Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Stir in the buttermilk, vanilla extract, and lemon extract until the mixture is smooth.

  • Add the Pie Filling: Pour the lemon pie filling into the melted butter in the baking dish without stirring.

  • Top the Cobbler: Pour the batter over the top of the pie filling. Do not stir. As it bakes, the batter will rise and form a cobbler topping.

  • Bake: Bake the cobbler for 40-45 minutes or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.

  • Serve: Let the cobbler cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy it warm with a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream!

Notes

  • The “magic” comes from the batter rising to form the cobbler topping while the lemon pie filling remains at the bottom.
  • For an extra touch, you can garnish with lemon zest or a dusting of powdered sugar before serving.
  • If you prefer a more tangy lemon flavor, feel free to add more lemon extract or lemon zest to the batter.
