Easy Cherry Cobbler

A perfect summer dessert recipe, this easy cobbler is loaded with the flavor of both tart and sweet cherries. I usually use fresh cherries, but it’s not cherry season yet so the next best thing is using frozen cherries and still being able to enjoy this delicious cherry cobbler anytime of the year.

Why You’ll Love This Cherry Cobbler with Frozen Cherries

  • It’s an easy cobbler recipe that uses simple ingredients and frozen cherries so it’s great all year round.
  • It has a cake-like, biscuit type, cobbler topping that is absolutely delicious and so easy to make.
  • And, it’s a family favorite cobbler recipe that is packed with sweet, juicy, cherries.

Tips and Variations

I only have a few tips for you. Make sure to rinse the frozen cherries and let them thaw a bit. Stir and drain any extra juice before adding in the ingredients. This is a classic cobbler recipe that is so easy to make and one that can easily be switched up a bit.

Different Fruit

  • Strawberries, blueberries, peaches, pears and blackberries, are just a few different types of fruit that can be used in place of cherries.
  • Can mix two types of fruits that pair well together for added flavor.

Add Nuts

  • Chopped walnuts or pecans are also a delicious addition you can add for a little crunch.

How To Make Cherry Cobbler

Step 1 – Prep

Preheat oven to 375° and spray a 3 quart baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.

Step 2 – Making the Cherry Filling

If you are using frozen cherries, remove 6 cups, give a quick rinse with cold water, and add them to a large mixing bowl to thaw or if using fresh cherries, rinse, remove pits and place in a large bowl. Once cherries have almost thawed, drain any excess water. Next, add both sugars, lemon juice and cornstarch. Stir and let sit for 5 minutes, then stir again and pour into the prepared baking dish.

Step 3 – Making the Cobbler Topping

In a medium bowl, whisk flour, sugar, brown sugar, baking powder and salt together, then add butter. Mix until crumbly and add boiling water. Stir until well combined. Next, just spoon the topping onto the cherry filling and pop in the oven.

Step 4 – Baking the Cobbler

Bake uncovered in preheated oven for 50 minutes or until topping is golden brown and thoroughly cooked. Carefully remove from oven and serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or top with whipped cream.
