Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9 x 13-inch baking pan to ensure easy removal and cleanup.
2
Evenly spread two cans of any flavor of pie filling into the bottom of the prepared baking pan. Try apple, cherry, or blackberry for different flavor profiles.
3
Carefully sprinkle the dry cake mix (yellow or white) over the pie filling, ensuring it covers the filling evenly. Do not mix.
4
Slowly pour the melted margarine over the top of the cake mix, distributing it as evenly as possible to help form a golden crust as it bakes.
5
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbly.
6
Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool slightly. Once cooled, serve with a dollop of whipped cream, Cool Whip, or ice cream, if desired, for an extra touch of sweetness.
