Step-by-Step Instructions
First, I preheat my oven to 350°F (175°C) and butter my baking dish so that the cobbler comes out easily later. In a large mixing bowl, I combine the sliced bananas with half the sugar. I let this mixture sit for about 10 minutes, allowing the bananas to release their natural sweetness and juices, which makes for a deeply flavorful cobbler.
