1/2 cup melted butter, plus more for greasing 2 quart casserole
1 cup sugar, plus more for sprinkling on top
1 cup self rising flour
1 cup milk
2 cups fresh or frozen berries (thawed) or fresh apple slices (add cinnamon to apples)
Whipped cream or ice cream for serving
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 2-quart baking dish with butter.
In a medium bowl, whisk 1 cup sugar with the flour and milk. Whisk in the melted butter.
Rinse the blackberries and pat them dry. If frozen, thaw and pat dry. Pour the batter into the baking dish. Sprinkle the blackberries or other fruit evenly over the top of the batter. Sprinkle 1/8 cup sugar over the top. Bake until golden brown and bubbly, about 1 hour. When 10 minutes of the cooking time remains, sprinkle 1 extra tablespoons sugar over the top. Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Cut into squares and serve with whipped cream or ice cream.
