A scrumptious easy-to-make strawberry cobbler dessert from fresh strawberries three other pantry staples.

It’s almost Strawberry time here in Lancaster County. I found beautiful homegrown strawberries from North Carolina in my favorite Framer’s Market. I knew they would become a delicious early summer dessert! With fresh strawberries, a yellow box cake mix, sugar, and a bit of butter you can make a beautiful and delicious cobbler!

As summer moves on switch out the strawberries for any other in-season fruit! YUM!

My Strawberry Story

Starting in May, I move throughout summer eating delicious in-season fruit. Right now rhubarb is growing in our garden and we just starting to get fresh strawberries too!

There is such a huge difference between store-bought strawberries and ones fresh from the field. Strawberries are the taste of late May and June! We are blessed to have strawberry fields dotted over the countryside. I often stop the car and pick a few pints when I’m in the mood.

If you cannot get fresh from the field strawberries, don’t sweat it! This cobbler is worth making with any strawberry!

Why You Should Make This Recipe

Fruit cobblers are a summer treat! This recipe uses fresh strawberries and three other pantry staples. It will be a summertime favorite for you and your family.

What Is A Cobbler

A cobbler is a warm fruit dessert consisting of fruit on the bottom of a pan covered with a batter or biscuit topping before being baked.

It is different from a crisp which is a warm fruit dessert with the fruit on the bottom and a streusel topping made with oatmeal. A crumble is the same as a crisp with a streusel made without oatmeal in the topping.

This recipe is a cobbler. A yellow box mix sprinkled over the top of the strawberries makes a batter as it cooks.

Ingredient Notes

Strawberries- use the freshest and most ripe you can find.

Sugar- adds sweetness and mixes with the strawberries to create a liquid

Yellow Box Cake Mix- works its magic to create the sweet biscuit topping for this dessert

Butter- helps to hydrate the box mix and creates a richer flavor and a more tender biscuit on top of the strawberries
