Easy Cherry Cobbler Recipe
Summer is the season of sun-kissed days, warm evenings, and the bounty of fresh fruits. Among the seasonal delights, cherries stand out as a beloved favorite. They remind me of my childhood and visits to my uncle and aunt’s house, where we spent summer nights picking cherries off their trees.
Their sweet, juicy flavor truly makes them perfect for a variety of desserts, but there’s one classic treat that captures the essence of summer like no other: Cherry Cobbler. This easy cherry cobbler recipe is not only delicious but also simple enough to whip up in no time. Whether you’re hosting a backyard barbecue or enjoying a quiet evening at home, this cherry cobbler is sure to impress.
Ingredients for Cherry Cobbler
One of the many reasons I love this cherry cobbler recipe is how easy it is to make. In its simplest form, we’re using canned cherry pie filling. However, if you have time, you can certainly make this with a homemade cherry pie filling. You’ll want to make a 1.5x batch of my CHERRY PIE FILLING from my Cherry Cheese Pie Cake. In that recipe, you can use fresh or frozen cherries. Once the homemade cherry pie filling is made, add it to your baking dish and follow the instructions below for the cobbler topping and baking.
In addition to the cherry pie filling (homemade or canned), you’ll make a simple cobbler topping with all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and milk.
Simple Steps to Make Cherry Cobbler
For this cherry cobbler recipe, grab a bowl and a whisk – that’s it! Follow the steps below to whip up this easy summer recipe.
Combine dry ingredients in a mixing bowl. Whisk to combine. Stir in milk. Pour the cherry pie filling in the baking dish. Add dollops of the cobbler topping. Bake at 375 F for about 20 minutes.
After the cobbler is done baking, let it sit for about 10 to 15 minutes before serving. I like to add a scoop of ice cream or a dollop of homemade whipped cream on top.
