Ingredients

For the Fruit Filling:

• 3 cups fresh mangoes, diced
• 2 cups fresh pineapple, diced
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• Juice of 1 lime
• Zest of 1 lime

For the Cobbler Topping:

• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
• 1/3 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Fruit Filling Preparation:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish.
2. In a large bowl, combine the diced mangoes, diced pineapple, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lime juice, and lime zest. Toss until the fruits are coated evenly.
3. Transfer the fruit mixture into the greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Cobbler Topping:

1. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
2. Add the chilled, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or fork to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until it resembles coarse crumbs.
3. In a small bowl, mix the milk and vanilla extract. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
4. Drop spoonfuls of the cobbler topping over the fruit filling, covering it as evenly as possible.

Baking:

1. Place the baking dish on a baking sheet (to catch any drips) and bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until the cobbler topping turns golden brown, and the fruit filling is bubbling.
2. Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
