Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 1 21 ounces (595 grams) lemon pie filling
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

Baking and Liquid Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon lemon extract

Seasoning Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Warm the oven to 350°F, creating an ideal baking environment for the magical dessert.
  2. Transform butter into a silky liquid by placing it in a 9×9-inch baking dish, melting for 3-4 minutes in the preheated oven.
  3. Craft a smooth foundation by whisking flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar together in a mixing bowl.
  4. Infuse moisture by gently incorporating buttermilk, vanilla, and lemon extracts until just blended.
  5. Create layers by carefully pouring the prepared batter over the melted butter, avoiding any stirring.
  6. Distribute lemon pie filling generously across the surface, ensuring even coverage.
  7. Slide the dish into the oven, allowing it to transform for 45-55 minutes until edges turn a gorgeous golden brown.
  8. Rest the cobbler briefly after removing from the oven, letting flavors settle and intensify before serving warm.

Notes

  • Make sure the butter is fully melted and evenly coats the bottom of the baking dish for a crispy, golden crust.
  • Do not overmix the batter; stir just until ingredients are combined to keep the texture light and tender.
  • Swap buttermilk with dairy-free alternatives like almond milk or coconut milk for a lactose-free version.
  • Enhance the lemon flavor by adding fresh lemon zest to the batter or sprinkling powdered sugar with extra lemon zest on top before serving.
