Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using unsalted butter instead of margarine. You can substitute almond extract for vanilla to enhance the cherry flavor.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen cherries instead of canned?
Yes, frozen cherries can be used in place of canned cherries. Just make sure to thaw and drain them well before adding to the cobbler. You might need to adjust the sugar based on the sweetness of the frozen cherries.
What can I use instead of milk?
If you're looking for a dairy-free option, almond milk or oat milk work well as substitutes for regular milk. For a creamier texture, consider using coconut milk. Just keep in mind that the flavor may slightly change.
How do I know when the cobbler is done baking?
The cobbler is done when the top is golden brown and bubbly. You can check by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean. If the top is browning too quickly, cover it loosely with aluminum foil during the last few minutes of baking.
