Step 3: Make the topping - Sprinkle the cake mix over the top of the filling and then evenly distribute the butter slices on top.
Step 4: Bake - Bake the cobbler uncovered on the middle rack for 45-55 minutes until the top is golden and there's a slight giggle. Transfer to a cooling rack and rest for at least 1 hour before serving.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftovers covered tightly with tin foil or plastic wrap (once room temperature) in the fridge for up to one week. To reheat, bake in the oven uncovered at 300 degrees Fahrenheit until warm or reheat a piece on a microwave-safe plate until warm.
Helpful Tips
- Cover the top of the cobbler evenly with butter to ensure the all the cake mix gets cooked, otherwise there may be some dry spots.
- Let the cobbler rest for at least an hour otherwise it may be runny when you scoop into it! It should be gooey, but not runny.

Loved the recipe. Turned out great. Especially fond of the typo "when it has a slight "giggle". I knew you meant jiggle but it was cute.
