This lemon cobbler is the dessert of the summer! It's sweet, tart, and beautifully vibrant. And thanks to a bit of baking magic, it's a cinch to whip up.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons lemon zest (from about 2 lemons)
  • 1 (22 ounce) can lemon pie filling

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175°C).

  2. 2

    Place the stick of butter in a 9x9-inch baking dish and bake for 5 minutes, until melted. Remove the dish from the oven and set aside.

  3. 3

    In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until combined. Pour in the buttermilk, vanilla extract, and lemon zest and whisk just until a smooth batter forms.

  4. 4

    Pour the batter evenly over the melted butter in the baking dish. Do not stir.

  5. 5

    Carefully spoon the lemon pie filling over the batter, trying to make it as even as possible. Do not stir.

  6. 6

    Bake for 40-50 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the pie filling is bubbly.

  7. 7

    Let the cobbler cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. Dust with powdered sugar or top with vanilla ice cream if desired, and enjoy!
