Cherry Cobbler 🍒🥧✨ Juicy, Tart Cherries With a Sweet, Golden Crust

This cherry cobbler is bursting with juicy, sweet-tart cherries baked under a golden, buttery crust. It’s simple, rustic, and perfect for serving warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Ingredients (Serves 8)

For the cherry filling

• 5 cups fresh or frozen cherries (pitted)
• ½ cup granulated sugar (adjust based on sweetness of cherries)
• 2 tbsp cornstarch
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• Pinch of cinnamon (optional)

For the batter

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tsp baking powder
• ¼ tsp salt
• 1 cup milk (whole or 2%)
• ½ cup unsalted butter, melted

Optional topping

• Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream

Step 1: Preheat oven

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

Step 2: Prepare the cherries

In a medium saucepan, combine cherries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla, and cinnamon (if using). Cook over medium heat until mixture thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. Pour into prepared baking dish.

Step 3: Make the batter

In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in milk and melted butter until just combined. Batter will be thin.

Step 4: Assemble the cobbler

Pour the batter evenly over the cherry mixture (do not stir). The batter will rise around the fruit as it bakes.

Step 5: Bake

Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Step 6: Serve

Let cool slightly before serving warm with a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream.

Flavor Variations

• Add almond extract to the batter for a cherry-almond flavor
• Mix in blueberries or raspberries for a mixed-berry cobbler
• Use brown sugar instead of granulated sugar for a richer filling
• Sprinkle coarse sugar on the batter before baking for a crunchy topping

Pro Tips

• If using frozen cherries, do not thaw — just cook with the sugar and cornstarch
• Taste cherries before sweetening and adjust sugar to balance tartness
• Let cobbler cool for 10–15 minutes before serving so the filling sets
• Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 3 days

Final Thoughts

Cherry Cobbler is sweet, tart, and rustic — the perfect balance of juicy fruit and golden crust. It’s a timeless dessert that’s as beautiful as it is comforting.

Bake it. Scoop it. Savor cherry bliss. 🍒🥧✨
