Cherry Cobbler
This Cherry Cobbler is heavenly. The crust is golden and crisp, and the cherries are so juicy and sweet with just a hint of tartness.
Equipment
Ingredients
Cherry Cobbler Filling
- 2 lbs Frozen Cherries
- 2/3 cup Sugar
- 2 tbsp Cornstarch
- 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
- 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1/2 tsp Almond Extract
- 1 tsp Lemon Zest
- 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
Biscuit Cobbler Topping
- 2 cups All Purpose Flour
- 3/4 cup Sugar
- 2 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/2 tsp Kosher Salt
- 12 tbsp Salted Butter, (cold and cut into chunks)
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1/2 cup Buttermilk, (cold)
- 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Add cherries to a separate bowl and toss in sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla extract, almond extract, and lemon zest. Toss everything together. Add to a 9x13 baking dish along with all of the cherry juices.
- Begin preparing the biscuit topping in a large bowl. Combine all purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, kosher salt, and cubed cold butter. Toss to coat the butter in the flour and begin pinching the flour into the flour mixture (you can use a pastry blender if you have one). This should take about about 3-5 minutes.
- Once the butter is incorporated, add in buttermilk and vanilla extract. Gently knead until the dough comes together, about 2-3 minutes (it may look a little shaggy at first but keep going). Place in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.
- Break pieces of the cobbler batter on top of the cherry mixture. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes, until the top of the cobbler is golden brown. Allow the cobbler to cool for about 10 minutes before cutting into it.
Notes
- Time Saving Tip: If using fresh cherries, use a cherry pitter to remove the cherry pits. It's a lot easier this way and saves so much time!
- If you notice the top of the cobbler beginning to brown too quickly, gently cover with aluminum foil to prevent it from burning.
- All of the ingredients for the biscuit topping should be cold. Avoid using room temperature ingredients for the best results.
- Add peaches to make a peach and cherry cobbler - it's like summer in a bowl!
- Try using cherry pie filling as opposed to fresh cherries to quicken the prep time.
- Sprinkle a tablespoon sugar on top of the biscuit topping for a nice crunch in the oven.
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own from home (it's simply whole milk and lemon juice). Check out my homemade buttermilk recipe!
