Can Soda Replace Butter in Oven-Baked DCB Cobbler?

[kam]

I have made the DCB Cobbler using pie filling, layered with dry cake mix and topped with 1-1/2 sticks of butter. LOVE IT....

BUT, I need to find a dessert for my mom who is lactose intolerent and can't eat the butter (especially not that much). So, I have seen the recipe posted on here to use 1 can of soda (Lemon-lime???) instead of the butter. But, they are all done in the microwave.

Has anyone done the pie filling/dry cake mix and 1 can of soda in the oven? How did it turn out??

Yes, I have done this in the oven and it turned out great! I used a lemon-lime soda and it gave the cobbler a nice sweet flavor. The texture was slightly different from the traditional version with butter, but still delicious. I topped it off with some whipped cream or ice cream and it was a hit. I would definitely make this again!

I haven't personally tried the pie filling, dry cake mix, and soda combination in the oven, but I have seen others mention it on this forum. From what I've read, it seems to turn out just as delicious as the version made in the microwave. Some people have even said that they prefer the oven method because it gives the dessert a crispier texture. I would recommend giving it a try and adjusting the baking time as needed. Good luck and let us know how it turns out!
