Fruit Cobbler

We had this wonderful delight at our neighbor's home on the 4th of July! It was yummy!

1/4 c. butter, softened
1/2 c. sugar
1 c. flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 c. milk
Lg. can fruit, drained (save juice)
1/4 to 1/2 c. sugar
1 c. fruit juice

Heat oven to 375. Cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Stir sifted dry ingredients in alternately with milk. Beat until smooth. Pour into 9 x 13 baking dish. Spoon fruit over batter. Sprinkle with 1/4 -1/2 c. sugar. Pour 1 c. reserved fruit juice over top. Bake 45 - 50 min. During the baking, the fruit and juice go to the bottom and a cake-like layer forms on top. Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream. Enjoy!!!

(Rae said she doesn't have much luck with peaches because the crust doesn't come up through them easily, but I tried it with smaller peach pieces, and it was perfect)!
