Making Cranberry Orange Cobbler is a breeze when you follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. Prepare Cranberry Mixture: In a bowl, combine the cranberries, ½ cup of sugar, orange juice, and orange zest. Mix well and set aside to let the flavors meld.
3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and the remaining ½ cup of sugar.
4. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix; some lumps are okay.
6. Pour Batter: Pour the batter into the greased baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
7. Add Cranberry Mixture: Spoon the cranberry mixture evenly over the batter, ensuring it is distributed well.
8. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Cool: Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
