Best-Easiest Desserts Ever - COBBLER
(My Mom made this almost as long as I can remember)
Submitted by JERRI in OHIO - EGSTICK
First Place in the WALLABIE'S FIBRO-FRIENDLY RECIPES Contest

1 stick melted butter
1 cup self-rising flour
1 cup milk
1 cup sugar
1 can of any fruit, I usually use peaches - the 30 oz size -- drain about 1/2 juice

Melt butter in large casserole or baking dish. Mix flour-sugar and milk, will still be a little lumpy and thin. Pour into melted butter. Add peaches (just pour in). Bake at 375 for about 45 minutes or until golden brown. Great with ice cream or just milk, while warm. Instead of peaches, your can use a large can of any pie filling, apple, cherry etc. People will think you worked hard on it. Sometimes I use a few chopped nuts or coconut on top, before baking

Cut the bananas into 1" pieces, then place them in a bowl. Pour the orange juice over the bananas and stir gently until the bananas are coated with the orange juice.

After they have been out of the freezer for 10 minutes, blend then in the food processor until smooth like ice cream. Serve. Garnish with a slice of fresh banana, if you wish. We have even served this to company in crystal goblets.

Spread pumpkin mixture over cake batter and bake for 40 to 65 minutes, depending on your oven. Make sure not to overbake as the center should be a little gooey.

Variations: For a Pineapple Gooey Cake: Instead of the pumpkin, add a drained 20-ounce can of crushed pineapple to the cream cheese filling. Proceed as directed above.
For a Banana Gooey Cake: Prepare cream cheese filling as directed, beating in 2 ripe bananas instead of the pumpkin. Proceed as directed above.
For a Peanut Butter Gooey Cake: Use a chocolate cake mix. Add 1 cup creamy peanut butter to the cream cheese filling instead of the pumpkin. Proceed as directed above. This is ESPECIALLY nummy!
