Creeping Crust Cobbler


Hey friends!

Last night, a bunch of my girlfriends came over for dinner. My friend DeAnna made the BEST chicken spaghetti I have ever had, plus garlic bread and a Caesar salad. I was in charge of dessert, so I decided to whip up this little number.

My mom used to make this creeping crust cobbler when I was little, and I remember being fascinated by how the crust really does "creep" up to the top! I didn't get any pictures of the ingredients or process, but it's pretty self explanatory and really delicious! I guarantee you will love it!

Ingredients:

Dough:
1/2 cup butter
1 cup flour
1 cup sugar
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 cup milk

Fruit mixture:
2 cups fruit (I used apple)
1 cup sugar (less if you use canned fruit or pie filling)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Melt butter in 10 inch baking dish. Mix flour, sugar, and baking powder. Add milk and mix well. Heat the fruit with the sugar until dissolved. Pour dough into baking dish, then pour fruit mixture over the dough. Bake for 30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.

**You can use any fruit variety or mixture of varieties that you'd like. This is great served with vanilla ice cream...yum!
