Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 stick (1/2 cup) butter, melted
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 egg
  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Fruit

  • 2 cans (20 oz each) pineapple chunks (approximately 4 cups)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure the baking dish heats evenly and your cobbler cooks perfectly.
  2. Prepare Baking Dish: Grease a 9×13 inch (23×33 cm) baking dish with butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking and help with even baking.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk them together until well blended to evenly distribute the leavening and seasoning.
  4. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the melted butter and milk together. Add the cream cheese and vanilla extract, mixing until the cream cheese is smooth and fully incorporated for a creamy batter base.
  5. Mix Wet and Dry: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined to avoid overmixing, which can toughen the cobbler.
  6. Add Pineapple: Carefully fold in approximately 2 cups of pineapple chunks, distributing them evenly throughout the batter for bursts of juicy sweetness.
  7. Fill Baking Dish: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly to ensure uniform cooking.
  8. Bake: Bake for 45-50 minutes until the cobbler is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, indicating it’s fully cooked.
  9. Cool: Remove the cobbler from the oven and allow it to cool for 10-15 minutes to set, making it easier to serve.
  10. Serve: Serve warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra indulgent dessert experience.

Notes

  • Use full-fat cream cheese for the best creamy texture.
  • Drain some juice from the pineapple chunks to prevent the batter from getting too wet.
  • For a slight crunch, sprinkle some chopped nuts on top before baking.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator and consume within 3 days.
  • Reheat gently in the microwave or oven before serving.
