Ingredients
Scale
Filling:
- 5 cups fresh cranberries
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon orange zest (from one large orange)
- 4 tablespoons fresh orange juice (from one large orange)
- 1 tablespoon Grand Marnier or other orange liqueur (optional)
Topping:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice
- 1 large egg
- 6 tablespoons cold butter, sliced thinly
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the cobbler.
- Prepare the Filling: In a 9×9-inch baking dish, combine 5 cups of fresh cranberries with 1/2 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon orange zest, 4 tablespoons orange juice, and 1 tablespoon Grand Marnier if using. Toss everything together until the cranberries are well coated with the mixture.
- Make the Topping: In a small bowl, mix 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 cup sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice, and 1 large egg. The batter will be crumbly, which is perfect for the cobbler topping.
- Assemble the Cobbler: Evenly spread the crumbly topping mixture over the cranberry filling in the baking dish. Then, arrange the thin slices of cold butter evenly on top of the cobbler mixture to help create a golden crust.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes. Bake until the topping is golden brown and the cranberry filling is bubbly.
- Serve: Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving. It can be enjoyed warm or cold, and pairs wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent dessert.
Notes
- Fresh cranberries provide the best texture and flavor, but frozen cranberries can be used if thawed first; cooking time may need to be increased slightly.
- For the best citrus flavor, zest the orange before juicing it.
- You can add a touch of cinnamon to the fruit filling for extra warmth; pumpkin pie spice works excellently in place of cinnamon.
- Use cold butter for easier slicing and to achieve the ideal crumbly topping texture.
- This cobbler is delicious served warm or cold and is especially delightful with vanilla ice cream on top.
