Ingredients
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix all ingredients and place in a baking dish so the dough is about 1/2-inch thick.
- Bake until the cobbler is golden and bubbly.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the dough. If you don't have shortening, butter works as a great substitute and adds a nice richness. To enhance the cherry flavor, you could mix in a tablespoon of cherry juice or extract. Remember to adjust the sugar based on the tartness of the cherries you use. This cobbler pairs beautifully with Easy Custard for a delightful dessert experience.
Serving Suggestions
Serve your cherry cobbler warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top for a classic dessert experience. It also pairs well with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of heavy cream. For a hearty brunch, consider serving it alongside David Warren'S Candied Yams for a deliciously sweet spread.
Storage & Reheating
To store leftovers, cover the cobbler tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and keep it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through, or microwave individual portions for 30-60 seconds. Enjoy it warm for the best flavor and texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen cherries instead of fresh?
Yes, frozen cherries work well in this recipe! Just ensure they are thawed and drained of excess liquid before mixing them into the dough. This will help maintain the right consistency and prevent the cobbler from becoming too soggy.
How do I know when the cobbler is done baking?
The cobbler is done when the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbly. You can also insert a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs attached. Keep an eye on it during the last few minutes of baking to prevent over-browning.
Can I make this cobbler gluten-free?
Absolutely! Substitute the all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend. Make sure the baking powder is also gluten-free, and adjust the liquid slightly if necessary, as gluten-free flour can absorb moisture differently.
