- 3 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
- 3 cups rhubarb, chopped
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- ¼ teaspoon salt
For the Cobbler Topping
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
- ⅔ cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional Topping
- 1 tablespoon coarse sugar for sprinkling
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch baking dish or similar casserole dish.
Step 2: Make the Fruit Filling
In a large bowl combine:
- Strawberries
- Rhubarb
- Sugar
- Cornstarch
- Vanilla extract
- Lemon juice
- Salt
Mix thoroughly until the fruit is evenly coated.
Step 3: Transfer to Baking Dish
Pour the fruit mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
Step 4: Prepare the Cobbler Dough
In a separate bowl whisk together:
- Flour
- Sugar
- Baking powder
- Salt
Add the cold butter cubes and cut them into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or fork until crumbly.
Step 5: Add Wet Ingredients
Pour in the milk and vanilla extract. Stir gently until a soft dough forms.
Step 6: Top the Fruit
Drop spoonfuls of the cobbler dough over the fruit filling. Do not worry about covering the fruit completely.
Step 7: Bake
Bake for 45 to 50 minutes or until:
- Topping is golden brown.
- Filling is bubbling around the edges.
Step 8: Cool
Allow the cobbler to cool for 15 minutes before serving.
Notes
For the best texture, use fresh strawberries and rhubarb, but frozen fruit works well too—just thaw and drain excess liquid first.
If your rhubarb is especially tart, add an extra tablespoon of sugar to the filling to balance the flavors.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a classic summer dessert experience.
