Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Dish
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray the inside of your baking dish thoroughly with non-stick cooking spray to ensure the cobbler doesn’t stick.
2. Add the Pie Filling
Empty the pie filling into the baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Use your favorite flavor—peach, cherry, apple, or blueberry all work wonderfully.
3. Add the Cake Mix
Sprinkle the dry Jiffy Golden Yellow Cake Mix evenly over the top of the pie filling. Do not mix or add any other ingredients to the cake mix.
4. Add the Butter
Cut the butter into thin slices (pats) and place them over the dry cake mix, leaving small spaces between each piece. The butter will melt as the cobbler bakes, creating a delicious crispy topping.
5. Sprinkle Sugar and Cinnamon
Generously sprinkle sugar and ground cinnamon over the entire surface of the cake mix and butter. Adjust the amount based on your taste preference.
6. Bake the Cobbler
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25–35 minutes. Keep an eye on the cobbler—when it smells amazing and the top is golden brown, it’s ready.
7. Cool and Serve
Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra indulgent touch.
