This lemon cobbler is a springtime version of one of my favorite fall desserts, pumpkin cobbler. The concept is similar, but instead of earthy pumpkin we’re using sunny lemon.

(Full printable recipe is available below)

Prepare the Pie Dish. First, you’ll preheat the oven to 350F. Put the cut-up butter into a deep-dish pie pan and place it in the oven to melt the butter.

Make the Batter. While the butter is melting, go ahead and mix up the batter, whisking until smooth.

Once the butter is melted, pour the batter over the melted butter. The batter will sink to the bottom. DO NOT STIR!

Add the Pie Filling. Then, you’ll spoon the pie filling over the batter. Again, DO NOT STIR!

Bake and Serve. Last, you’ll sprinkle with the remaining sugar.

Bake for 50-55 minutes until golden brown. Serve warm with whipped cream or ice cream.

Notes and Adaptations:

• Do NOT stir after you add the batter or the pie filling. Everything will magically combine as the magic lemon cobbler bakes.
