Cobbler recipe

This is a favorite for pot lucks and for when company comes over unexpectedly.

Cobbler

Decide what flavor you want first of all. It's great with pineapple or peaches. I have even tried it with pears, although I cut them into tiny pieces first, because pears stay firmer than the other two.

For the cobbler you will need:

2 cans fruit.
1 box yellow cake mix
2 sticks margarine or butter, melted

(For pineapple, I use one medium can chunks and one medium can crushed. For peaches I use what ever size I have, medium or large cans. I try to keep the sliced on hand.)
It does not matter what size can because in my opinion you cannot have too much fruit, just too little.
You pour your cans of fruit into the bottom of a lightly greased cake pan (9 X 13). Spread fruit evenly. When working with peaches and using the largest cans you may want to drain a little of the juice. Try it and see what you think first and then adjust it the next time.

Pour your cake mix (dry) over the fruit. Pat out evenly with your hand and press down so that it kind of seals the edges.

Pour the melted margarine over the fruit.

Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven until browned and bubbly. It will usually take about 25-30 minutes, but allow a little longer. For some reason it does not take the same amount of time to cook each time. Check often and take it out when it's browned, bubbly and gooey. Serve by itself or warm with icecream.
Enjoy!
