Time 1h5m

Yield 9 pieces, 9 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 cups sugar, plus a bit more for sprinkling
3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
4 cups fresh fruit, peeled and cut into chunks

Steps:

Combine the flour and sugar.
Add the butter, mixing as you go, until the mixture forms a soft dough. It can be slightly crumbly, but you want it to hold together when you squeeze it.
Spray a 9x9 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
Put the fruit in the dish - you will probably need about 4 cups of berries or chopped fruit. You want to create a thick layer that comes about two inches up the sides.
If the fruit is particularly tart, sprinkle with a light layer of sugar. If the fruit is soft and sweet, you don't need it.
Take the dough by the handful and pat it into disks that are about 1/4-inch to 1/2-inch thick. Lay them on top of the fruit, continuing with the patties, until it is covered.
Bake the cobbler at 350 degrees for about 45-50 minutes, until the crust is light golden brown. Let cool slightly, then serve with ice cream.
