Here's a recipe to make spiced fruit cobbler:

Ingredients for the Fruit Filling:

- 4 cups of mixed fruits (such as apples, peaches, berries, or pears), peeled and sliced

- 1/2 cup granulated sugar

- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

- 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Ingredients for the Cobbler Topping:

- 1 cup all-purpose flour

- 1/4 cup granulated sugar

- 1 teaspoon baking powder

- 1/4 teaspoon salt

- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces

- 1/4 cup milk

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions for the Fruit Filling:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. In a large bowl, combine the sliced fruits, granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and lemon juice. Toss gently until the fruits are evenly coated.

3. Transfer the fruit mixture to a baking dish or a cast-iron skillet.

Instructions for the Cobbler Topping:

1. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

2. Add the cold pieces of butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

3. In a small bowl, combine the milk and vanilla extract. Pour this mixture into the flour and butter mixture. Stir until the dough comes together.

4. Drop spoonfuls of the cobbler topping evenly over the fruit filling in the baking dish.

5. Bake the spiced fruit cobbler in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes, or until the fruit filling is bubbly and the cobbler topping is golden brown.

6. Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.

Serve the spiced fruit cobbler warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for a delicious and comforting dessert. Enjoy the combination of warm, spiced fruit and buttery cobbler topping!
