Ingredients
Instructions
- Cook rolls according to directions.
- Heat pie filling with water, sugar, and butter and spread over a layer of rolls which have been placed in a baking dish.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using fresh cherries instead of canned pie filling. If you have almond extract, adding a few drops to the filling enhances the cherry flavor. You can substitute the butter with coconut oil for a dairy-free option. If you're in a hurry, try using pre-made pie crust instead of crescent rolls. This cherry cobbler pairs beautifully with Old Fashioned Pound Cake for a delightful dessert spread.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the cherry cobbler warm, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra treat. It also pairs nicely with a side of Five Cup Salad for a refreshing contrast. Consider garnishing with fresh mint for a pop of color and flavor. This dish is perfect for summer gatherings or holiday celebrations.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover cherry cobbler in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place individual servings in the microwave for about 30 seconds or until warmed through. Alternatively, you can reheat in the oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes. This will help maintain the flaky texture of the crescent rolls.
