Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, try using brown sugar instead of white sugar. You can also substitute the milk with almond or coconut milk for a dairy-free version. If you're out of cherries, feel free to mix in blackberries or strawberries. To enhance the taste, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a dash of cinnamon to the batter.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this cobbler ahead of time?
You can prepare the batter and fruit combination ahead of time, but it’s best to bake it just before serving. If you want to prep in advance, store the batter and fruit separately in the refrigerator and combine them before baking for the freshest taste.
