Preparation

Step 1

Grease or butter an 8" or 9" cake pan or baking dish. Mix the fruit with the sugar, ClearJel or flour, cinnamon, and lemon juice, and spread it in the pan in an even layer. If you're using frozen fruit, allow it to thaw before topping.

Remove crust from the bread (if the crust is tough), and slice rolls or cake in half if very thick. Arrange on top of fruit to cover completely, cutting to fit as necessary.

Whisk the topping ingredients together until well blended. Pour slowly into the dish, and let sit for 15 minutes while you preheat your oven to 350F. Bake the cobbler for 45 to 55 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling around the edges. Serve warm, with ice cream or whipped cream.
