4. Pour Over the Fruit:
- Carefully pour the cobbler batter over the fruit in your skillet. Make sure it's evenly distributed.

8. Serve with Love or (southern sarcasm):
- Remove the cobbler from the oven and allow it to cool slightly. Serve it warm, AND a must have is to serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of fresh whipped cream. Share it with your loved ones and savor every delightful bite.
