This is a straightforward recipe for a delicious cherry cobbler using common ingredients. The biscuit topping comes together quickly, making this a fast cherry dessert perfect for any weeknight.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (21 ounce) can cherry pie filling
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking dish.
  2. Pour the entire can of cherry pie filling into the prepared baking dish and spread it into an even layer.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, 1 tablespoon of sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Pour in the milk and stir just until the dough comes together. Do not overmix.
  6. Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough evenly over the cherry filling. It does not need to cover the entire surface; gaps are fine.
  7. Sprinkle the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar over the biscuit topping.
  8. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  9. Let the easy cherry cobbler cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, you can use frozen dark sweet cherries instead of pie filling; combine 3 cups of thawed cherries with 1/2 cup sugar and 1 tablespoon cornstarch before placing in the dish.
  • If you want a fluffier topping, make sure your butter is very cold when mixing the biscuit dough.
  • Serve warm with vanilla ice cream for the best experience.
