Ingredients
- Cherry pie filling
- All-purpose flour
- Granulated sugar
- Baking powder
- Salt
- Milk
- Unsalted butter
- Vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Place the butter in a baking dish and set it in the oven for a few minutes, just until completely melted.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the milk and vanilla extract and stir gently until the batter is smooth and no large lumps remain.
- Carefully remove the baking dish from the oven. Pour the batter evenly over the melted butter without stirring.
- Spoon the cherry pie filling evenly over the batter. Do not stir; the batter will rise around the cherries as it bakes.
- Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the cherry filling is bubbling around the edges.
- Remove from the oven and cool for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.
Notes
- For fresh cherries, use pitted cherries mixed with sugar and a small amount of cornstarch in place of canned cherry pie filling.
- Frozen cherries can be used after thawing and draining excess liquid.
- Add a small amount of almond extract to the cherries or a pinch of cinnamon to the batter for extra flavor.
- For extra crunch, sprinkle coarse sugar, sliced almonds, or chopped pecans over the cobbler before baking.
- Cherries can be combined with blueberries, raspberries, peaches, or blackberries for a mixed-fruit cobbler.
- Store cooled leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Reheat individual servings in the microwave for 20 to 30 seconds at a time, or warm larger portions covered loosely with foil in a 325°F oven for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Freeze well-wrapped portions for up to 2 months and thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
