Easy Fruit Cobbler

I needed a quick recipe, and it had to match the ingredients I had on hand...this filled the bill. It's from Southernfood.about.com, and they consider it a 'dump cake'. I did it with canned cherries, but can see that any fruit would be good:

4 ounces butter
1 cup sugar
1 cup flour
1 tsp. baking powder
3/4 cup milk
dash of salt
1 can fruit pie filling

Melt butter in an 8x8x2 inch baking dish. Mis all ingredients except fruit in a medium bowl. (No mixer is required). Pour the batter over the butter. Pour filling over the top. Bake at 350 degrees 45-60 minutes or until the crust is golden brown. I added some powdered sugar on top. Serves 8

There, didn't I say simple? This is a great 'have the ingredients on hand' cobbler, and it is fast and easy (are you noticing a theme to my posts???). It would be a great breakfast/brunch sweet instead of muffins. One note: I didn't bake it for the full 45 minutes, since it browned up about 38-40 minutes. I would set the timer for about 35 minutes and check it. I did put a piece of foil over the top and let it bake a couple of extra minutes when I noticed the edges browing a lot. This is a very good recipe to try with kids. It's hard to mess up something this simple.
