Vintage Recipe: Fruit Cobbler
There are few things more synonymous with summer than fruit cobbler. I found this recipe shoved in the back of an old recipe card box, so we tried it. It was so good we decided to take a couple of pans of this fruit cobbler to the lake for the holiday weekend. It was a hit!
Fun fact: when I first came across this recipe, I thought, "how old can this recipe be? It calls for boxed cake mix, so it can't be that old". So I had to turn to google to find out when boxed cake mix started to become a thing. I was surprised to find that the first cake mix was patented in 1933!
A couple notes:
I used the entire 15oz box of cake mix
A 16 oz bag of frozen peaches works great; add a single layer between the pineapple and cake mix, and then the rest on top
Instead of 1/4 cup of butter, I used 1/2 cup
This baked perfectly at the 40-minute mark
