Recipe - Quick Berry Cobbler

In Savings for Sisters I try to feature recipes over time with varying levels of difficulty and time commitment to prepare.  Today's recipe, Quick Berry Cobbler, is probably the easiest thing you will every make, perfect for those times you are asked to bring a dessert to a potluck, take in dinner to someone in need, or just want a special Family Home Evening treat that can be whipped up in a few spare minutes.  Made with canned blueberry pie filling, frozen raspberries, and a few common ingredients from your pantry, it takes no more than ten minutes until ready for the oven, and is so delicious served warm with ice cream.  You can also substitute apple or cherry pie filling for equally tasty results.  We all know how much Elder Holland likes his ice cream after General Conference, so imagine how much your family will enjoy having cobbler and ice cream on a regular Sunday.  Don't wait until next October to try it!

Quick Berry Cobbler

This recipe can be used to top any kind of prepared (canned or bottled) pie filling OR fresh or frozen fruit OR a combination of these.

In a small but deep casserole dish, place frozen raspberries, either home-frozen or purchased at the store.  The amount can vary based on what you have on hand, but I would say about 4 cups.  My berries were a bit icy, but that's OK.

On top of the raspberries, spoon a can of blueberry pie filling.  I stocked up on the Western Family brand for only $1.79 a can a few weeks ago, and it works great.

Mix evenly right in the pan.

FOR TOPPING:
In small mixing bowl, mix 1 cup flour, 3/4 cup sugar, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon baking power.  Once these dry ingredients are mixed together well, add a large egg directly to the bowl and mix well into the flour mixture with a folk until it is evenly mixed and crumbly. (Note, if your eggs are not large, throw in an extra yolk).

Sprinkle this evenly over the berry mixture.

Melt 1/3 cup of butter and drizzle over the top.

Place in a 350 degree oven.

Bake about 45 minutes or so.  Leave it in until it is a deep brown color.  You don't want it to burn, but don't be too quick to remove it from the oven as long as it's still browning nicely.

Let cool at least 30 minutes before serving.  Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and enjoy!
