This Magic Lemon Cobbler is like a warm, cozy hug in dessert form. A golden, buttery crust surrounds a tangy lemon filling, creating the perfect sweet-and-citrusy balance. It’s quick to make, delightfully comforting, and best served warm—especially with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream!
