Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Gather your baking dishes and prep the ingredients.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the lemon pie filling and the juice from your whole lemon, whisking until well blended.
  3. Melt the butter and let it cool slightly. Whisk in the milk, 1 cup of sugar, salt, baking powder, flour, vanilla extract, and almond extract until smooth.
  4. Grease a 9x13 baking dish and spread the lemon filling along the bottom. Pour the batter over the filling without stirring.
  5. Pour boiling water evenly over the batter and lemon filling to aid in developing the unique cobbler texture.
  6. Bake for about 60 minutes, until the top is golden brown and bubbling around the edges.
  7. Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a sprig of mint.
