Sooo..this may not work for me as I prefer at least a medium scoop of ice cream on my warm cobbler. Am I losing it?

OK - what's a dump cake? Do you have a recipe??? I need something SUPER easy and yummy. Frank wants to have a BBQ here first week of June (hopefully the weather gets better by then!!)

I'd love something super easy for this weekend. Would like to whip together something delicious for the gathering after Sophia's Christening.

You can do it!

Thanks!

I really am a good cook, if I had the time. But baking...you should see how flat my cookies turn out!!!!

Usually if I want something baked, I call my aunt, give her my debit card or I go shopping & drop the items off at her house.....

and....

Viola & I get......



blackberry cobbler, peach cobbler or cookies or some sort of yumminess.....

Wow, that's great!! Care to share the recipe??? Was it easy?

I will get the recipe once I get home. It wasn't too hard at all. The crust recipe makes 4 crusts so you just freeze the ones you don't use for later. I had a difficult time figuring out how to roll the crust evenly and in a circle, but besides that it wasn't bad at all and it tasted great! The most important part was putting the foil around the edge before putting it in the oven and making sure to put it on the bottom rack.

I updated my cobbler post on the first page with with length of time to cook.

LOL I totally pictured Rob Schneider saying that! LOL

I am on the look out for berry cobbler. Something like "Claim Jumper's?"

Same with peach cobbler. I tend to like rolled out dough cobbler, verses the crumble kind.

Anybody out there have anything like that?

I've got one but it isn't traditional and doesn't have a bottom crust.

Dump Cake is where you just basically dump everything in the pan, mix and bake. It's very easy but I'm not much of a fan of dump cake. lol

Thanks!

Do you flatten them when you put them on the cookie sheet? If so don't do that and they should be ok, if not then maybe try cooking at a slightly lower temp or time, sometimes if cookies are in too long they will just flatten out.

My recipe uses FRESH fruit not canned (yuck) or frozen, but you can use frozen if you need to. I prep my fresh fruit simply by slicing it and adding some sugar and cinnamon depending on the fruit, if it's berries like strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, etc etc I just add sugar and let them sit, they soak up the sugar and make their own juice and it doesn't take that long at all. If it's harder fruits like apples, pears (we have a pear tree out back), peaches etc etc then I add sugar and cinnamon and let them sit. My recipes are very very easy, unfortunately I don't have the measurements here so I'll edit this when I get home.

Oh ya, if I do use frozen fruit I add the same sugar or sugar/cinnamon as I indicated above and just let them thaw like, the only one I don't do that with is strawberries.

I love peach cobbler. Love love love. My gramma has always made it this way, and calls it a "cuppa cuppa cuppa" recipe

1 cup butter, melted in glass casserole dish
mix together 1 cup milk and 1 cup self rising flour, and pour that in the dish, in the melted butter (don't stir it!)
then pour in a big can of peaches (however much you like), don't drain the peaches, either!
you can also add cinnamon or nutmeg or whatever you like

then you just bake it till it is a little brown on the top. I don't remember what temperature, though...I think like 350? Oh, it is so good. Especially with vanilla ice cream! :9

Oh, now I'm hungry.

Kerri~ Nope I don't flatten the cookies, it just happens that way....I am a terrible baker...I will try what you suggested next time I make cookies.

Don't give up, if that doesn't work try me again and let's see what we can think of.

have you checked your baking soda/powder lately? If you've had it for a long time it can lose it's effectiveness and cause flat baked goods . . . .

I always buy a new one, I never know how long it will last. Since I don't bake very often.

Well then--that can't be the problem--hmmm. Maybe you're overmixing?

I know you were talking about cobbler but my girlfriend sent me this and I love it. It's easy. Great fix during that time when you are having chocolate withdrawal. So I thought I'd share this. I am subscribing to this thread.

5 MINUTE CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE
4 tablespoons flour
4 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa
1 egg
3 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons oil
3 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional)
A small splash of vanilla extract
1 large coffee mug (MicroSafe)

Add dry ingredients to mug, and mix well. Add the egg and mix
thoroughly.
Pour in the milk and oil and mix well..
Add the chocolate chips (if using) and vanilla extract, and mix again.
Put your mug in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes at 1000 watts.
The cake will rise over the top of the mug, but don't be alarmed!
Allow to cool a little, and tip out onto a plate if desired.
EAT! (this can serve 2 if you want to feel slightly more virtuous).
And why is this the most dangerous cake recipe in the world?
Because now we are all only 5 minutes away from chocolate cake at any
time of the day or night!

Anyone with a simple recipe for Apple Cobbler?
That's my favorite.

The one I posted you can do with apples.

2 cans apple pie filling
1 box yellow cake mix
1 stick of butter


Put the apple filing in the bottom of baking dish. Sprinkle the dry cake mix on top. Melt butter and pour over the cake mix. Bake at 350 for about 1 hour.


Easy.

Okay, here's my grandma's recipe for apple cobbler or rubbarb cobbler. It's a crumble one, not a crust one but it's really easy and it uses fresh fruit!

4 cups sliced apples (4-6 med. apples)
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 cup sugar (use more or less depending on how tart the apples are and how sweet you like it)

Mix apples, lemon juice and sugar together in a bowl. Put mixture in greased shallow baking dish.

** for rhubarb cut up 4 cups of rhubarb into 1 inch pieces and mix in a bowl with 2/3 cup sugar **

Topping:
1/3 cup flour
1 cup quick oats
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup melted margarine

Mix topping ingredients together until crumbly. Sprinkle topping over top of apples (or rhubarb) and bake at 375 degrees about 30 minutes or until tender when poked with a fork.


Oh and I'm going to have to try that chocolate cake in a mug. That sounds yummy!

HA! I don't have to post mine now because that's it! LOL Too funny, mine is from Gma too....hmmmmmmm And I use peaches, pears, apples with this one. YUM!!!! I actually have frozen pears (from our tree) just waiting for me to make this!

How funny! I guess that was a popular recipe for that generation!

That recipe is what I've always called Dump Cake. A warning to anyone trying to substitute fresh fruit: you'll need to make a simple syrup to go with the fruit! The cake mix absorbs the moisture from the pie filling and pineapple and that, with the butter, is what makes it set up into a crust. Without the extra moisture you'll just get powdered cake mix on top of fruit!

My cobbler recipe calls for mixing the cake mix with 1/4 cup of brown sugar, 1/4 cup of quick cook oats, 1 tsp of cinnamon, and a melted cup of butter. Mix altogether and spoon over the fruit filling.

It's close to the same, but doesn't rely so much on the fruit goo to give it it's moisture!

Yay! Glad I found this thread...we have a block party to go to this weekend and I need to take a dessert and a cobbler will be just perfect! Thanks everyone...now to decide which fruit to use and which recipe!

 

[pixiewings71]

I used to do a cobbler type of recipe, I just used a yellow cake mix, 1 stick of butter and fruit. Put the fruit in the bottom of your pan, cut the butter into the cake mix and pour it on top of the fruit, bake it up and that's it. This was my ex's recipe and he did use canned fruit, probably because the cake mix sucked up the moisture. lol

I totally forgot about that one until the PP mentioned the cake mix sucking up the moisture. LOL

I hadn't realized cobbler was so easy to make! Too bad my oven doesn't work.
