🥘Ingredients
For the Cherry Filling
4 cups fresh or frozen pitted cherries
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Cobbler Topping
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
1/2 cup whole milk
👨🍳Directions
1Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cherries, 1/2 cup sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.
3Stir gently until the cherries are evenly coated and the mixture looks glossy.
4Pour the cherry filling into an ungreased 9-inch baking dish and spread it into an even layer.
5Set the dish aside while you prepare the topping.
6In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt.
7Add the cold butter cubes and use a pastry blender or fork to cut them into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized butter pieces remaining.
8Pour the milk into the flour-butter mixture and stir with a spatula just until a soft, shaggy dough forms.
9Do not overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky but hold together.
10Drop spoonfuls of the dough evenly over the cherry filling, leaving small gaps for steam to escape.
11The dough will spread as it bakes, so it does not need to cover every bit of fruit.
12Place the baking dish on a rimmed baking sheet to catch any drips.
13Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the cherry filling is bubbling around the edges.
14A toothpick inserted into the topping should come out clean.
15Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before serving.
16This allows the filling to set slightly.
17Serve warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

📝Notes
If using frozen cherries, do not thaw them first; add them directly to the filling mixture. For a richer topping, substitute half the milk with heavy cream. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat in a 350°F oven until warm.

This simple cherry cobbler is always a good idea for any occasion because it is easy to put together and pleases just about everyone. I often make it for family gatherings because it pairs well with ice cream or whipped cream and it feels like a real treat without being fussy.
If you have leftovers, cover the dish and store it in the fridge for up to four days. To reheat, pop it in a 350 degree oven for about 10 minutes or microwave individual servings for 30 seconds.
You can also serve it cold straight from the fridge which is surprisingly good. For a fun twist, try adding a handful of blueberries or raspberries to the cherry filling.
This cobbler is versatile enough to work for a summer barbecue, a holiday dinner, or just a Tuesday night dessert when you need something warm and comforting.
