Cherry Cobbler
A delicious homemade cherry cobbler made with fresh cherries and a buttery batter, perfect served warm with ice cream.
Equipment
- 9x13 inch baking dish
- Saucepan
Ingredients
Cherry Filling
- 4 cups fresh cherries pitted and halved (a little over 1 lb)
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar more or less depending on sweetness of cherries
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice about ½ a lemon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
For the batter
- 6 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup milk
- ground cinnamon for sprinkling
Instructions
- Make Cherry filling: Add sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and almond extract to a saucepan and stir. Add cherries and cook for a few minutes, until sugar is dissolved into a sauce and sauce has slightly thickened. (See notes if using canned or frozen cherries).
- Melt butter in pan. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Slice butter into pieces and add to a 9×13 inch baking dish. Place the pan in the oven while it preheats, to allow the butter to melt. Once melted, remove the pan from the oven.
- Make the batter: In a large bowl mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the milk, just until combined. Pour the mixture over melted butter in pan and smooth it into an even layer.
- Bake: Spoon the cherries and sauce mixture over the batter. (the batter will rise up and over the cherries, while baking.) Sprinkle cinnamon generously over the top. Bake at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes or until golden brown.
- Serve warm, with a scoop of ice cream, if desired.
