Ingredients You’ll Need

Here’s what you’ll need to whip up this easy lemon cobbler:

For the Lemon Base:

• 1/2 cup butter, melted
• 1 can lemon pie filling (20–22 ounces)
• 1 can sweetened condensed milk
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon lemon extract

For the Crust:

• 1 cup self-rising flour
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup butter, melted (you can use the same butter listed above)

Tip: If you don’t have self-rising flour, you can make your own by combining 1 cup all-purpose flour + 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder + 1/4 teaspoon salt.

How to Make Lemon Cobbler in the Crock Pot

Step 1: Create the Lemon Filling

1. Turn your Crock Pot on HIGH.
2. Add the lemon pie filling, sweetened condensed milk, 1 cup of sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon extract directly into the crock pot.
3. Stir everything together until smooth and well combined.
4. Cover with the lid while you make the crust.

Step 2: Make the Crust Topping

1. In a medium bowl, mix the self-rising flour with the remaining 1 cup of sugar.
2. Stir in the melted butter until a soft dough forms. It will be slightly thick, like biscuit dough.
3. Gently spoon the crust over the lemon mixture in the crock pot. Use the back of your spoon to smooth it out, covering as much of the filling as possible.

Step 3: Slow Cook to Golden Perfection

1. Cover and cook on HIGH for 1 hour, or until the cobbler is bubbly around the edges.
2. Reduce heat to LOW and cook for an additional 4 hours, or until the crust is set and slightly golden on top.

Note: Slow cookers can vary slightly. Keep an eye on it toward the end to make sure it doesn’t overcook.

Serving Suggestions

This lemon cobbler is best served warm with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. The contrast of cool, creamy ice cream and warm, citrusy cobbler is irresistible.

You can also:

• Top with whipped cream and fresh lemon zest.
• Sprinkle with powdered sugar for a bakery-style touch.
• Garnish with fresh mint or a few raspberries for color and flavor contrast.

Storage Tips

• Refrigerator: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat individual servings in the microwave.
• Freezer: While it’s best fresh, you can freeze individual portions for up to 1 month. Thaw in the fridge overnight and reheat before serving.

• Add blueberries for a lemon-blueberry cobbler.
