Ingredients

• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter

• 1 cup all-purpose flour

• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

• 1/4 teaspoon salt

• 1 cup granulated sugar

• 1 cup buttermilk

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 1 teaspoon lemon extract (optional)

• 1 can (21 oz) lemon pie filling
  
  

Directions

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. Melt the Butter: Place the stick of butter in a 9×9-inch baking dish and place it in the oven to melt for 3–4 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside.

3. Prepare the Batter: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Add the buttermilk, vanilla extract, and lemon extract (if using), and stir until just combined.

4. Assemble the Cobbler: Pour the batter evenly over the melted butter in the baking dish. Do not stir. Spoon the lemon pie filling over the batter, leaving spaces so the cobbler can bake through. Do not stir.

5. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 45–55 minutes, or until the cobbler is golden brown and the edges have pulled away from the dish.

6. Cool and Serve: Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving.
