A quick and comforting microwave cherry cobbler with a sweet cherry filling topped with a buttery, nutty crumb. Perfect for a cozy dessert that comes together in minutes, making it ideal for last-minute gatherings or a simple treat for cherry lovers. Warm, fruity, and satisfying.
Ingredients
Instructions
- In an 8-inch square dish, spread the cherry pie filling evenly.
- In a small bowl, mix together the cake mix, melted butter, chopped nuts, and cinnamon until crumbly.
- Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the cherries or in three rows so the cherries remain visible.
- Cover the dish with wax paper.
- Microwave on Auto Cook 2 if your microwave has this cycle; otherwise, cook on 20% power for approximately 11 to 15 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For a variation, consider using other fruit pie fillings like blueberry or apple. You can substitute chopped almonds or walnuts for the nuts based on your preference. If you want a bit more texture, add some oats to the crumb mixture. Ensure the butter is melted but not too hot to prevent the cake mix from clumping together. This dish is a great option for a quick dessert, similar to American recipes.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the cherry cobbler warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream on top. It pairs beautifully with Butterscotch Fudge Bars for a delightful dessert spread. You can also garnish with fresh cherries or a sprinkle of cinnamon for added flavor. This dish is perfect for potlucks or family gatherings.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover cherry cobbler can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place individual servings in the microwave for about 30 seconds or until warmed through. If you prefer a crispy topping, you can also reheat it in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes until the topping is slightly golden.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh cherries instead of canned pie filling?
Yes, you can use fresh cherries, but you'll need to cook them down with sugar and a bit of cornstarch to create a similar filling consistency. Adjust the sugar based on the sweetness of the cherries you choose.
What if I don't have a microwave with an Auto Cook feature?
If your microwave doesn't have an Auto Cook feature, simply cook the cobbler on 20% power for about 11 to 15 minutes. Check for doneness by ensuring the topping is set and not wet.
Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the cherry cobbler ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator before microwaving. Just cover it tightly with wax paper or plastic wrap until you're ready to cook it.
