Ingredients & Variations

FRUIT: Fresh or frozen doesn’t matter, and no need to thaw frozen fruit first. For colorful combinations, look for fruits that are complementary to each other such as green apples and peaches, plums and kiwis, or blueberries and strawberries.

COBBLER MIX: Cobblers are fairly free-form and just need a simple combination of flour, baking powder, and seasonings. Short on time? Use refrigerated biscuits! Cut them into quarters and toss with cinnamon. Layer them on the bottom of a casserole dish and scoop fruit filling on top. Or, use a ready-made baking mix, such as Bisquick, and follow the directions on the box for cobbler! Easy peasy!

TOPPINGS: Fruit cobblers are ripe for adding a topping or two! Chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans, toasted coconut, or a drizzle of caramel sauce make a new dessert every time! Or top it with a streusel made from oats and brown sugar to turn it into a crumble, similar to an apple crisp.

How to Make Strawberry Rhubarb Cobbler

This recipe is as ‘easy as pie’!

Simmer strawberries & rhubarb in a pot with sugar until tender, about 6 to 7 minutes.
Combine cobbler ingredients in a separate bowl (per the recipe below).
Melt butter in the bottom of a pan. Scoop the cake batter over the butter and carefully spoon in the fruit over the batter. Do not mix in.
Bake until the cobbler is golden brown. Let sit for 5 minutes before serving.

Tips to Prep Ahead of Time

Measure and mix dry ingredients together and keep them in a zippered bag with the date labeled on it. Just add milk, and fruit, and bake!
Take the baking mix along on vacation for delicious desserts anytime! Even the fruit can be pre-mixed and added to the freezer for last-minute desserts!
Line a baking pan with foil, leaving excess foil over the sides. Make the entire dessert and cool it completely. Use the foil to remove cooled cobbler from pan, and fold the excess foil over to cover cobbler. Wrap in plastic wrap, and freeze to enjoy at a later date.

How to Store Leftovers

Keep strawberry rhubarb cobbler covered at room temperature for 2 to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Serve as is or reheat in the microwave. Freeze portions in sealed containers for up to 4 months. Let thaw in the refrigerator before serving or reheating.
