Have you ever found yourself wanting something homemade, but with virtually no ingredients in your cabinets or refrigerator? For some reason (poor planning on my part, perhaps), this seems to happen fairly often in my house.

Well, not anymore. I have stumbled upon a great, super easy dessert recipe that contains only ingredients I almost always have on hand. As an added bonus, with the exception of pulling the finished cobbler out of the oven, all the steps could be handled be even a very small child. So far, we’ve tried both peach and cherry cobblers. Enjoy!

• 1/2 stick butter
• 1 cup sugar (or granulated Splenda)
• 1 cup flour
• 1 1/2 tsps baking powder
• 1 cup milk
• 1 can canned fruit, undrained

1. Preheat oven to 350 F.
2. Melt butter in an 8×8 baking dish (can be done in the oven or microwave).
3. In a separate bowl, mix together sugar, flour, baking powder, and milk.
4. Pour batter over melted butter in baking dish. The batter is fairly thick, so do your best to spread evenly.
5. Pour fruit over the batter.
6. Optional: For added crunch, crumble a crunchy granola bar on top.
7. Bake for 45 minutes.
