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:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish.
- 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.
- Transfer the fruit mixture into the greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Cobbler Topping:
- In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- 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.
- 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.
- Drop spoonfuls of the cobbler topping over the fruit filling, covering it as evenly as possible.
Baking:
- 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.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
