Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups cherries fresh or frozen: The star of the show! Fresh cherries add a wonderful burst of flavor, while frozen cherries offer convenience.
  • 1 cup sugar: This sweetens the cherries and balances their natural tartness. Feel free to adjust based on your sweetness preference.
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch: Used to thicken the cherry filling ensuring it has a nice, syrupy consistency.
  • 1 tsp vanilla: Adds a deep aromatic flavor that enhances both the cherries and the cobbler.
  • 1 tsp almond extract optional: This extract provides a lovely nutty flavor, complementing the cherries wonderfully.
  • 1 cup flour: The base of the cobbler topping giving it structure and heartiness.
  • 1 tsp baking powder: This leavening agent ensures that the batter rises properly resulting in a fluffy topping.
  • 1/4 tsp salt: Balances the flavors and enhances the sweetness of the dish.
  • 1/2 cup milk: Adds moisture to the batter creating a tender texture.
  • 1/4 cup melted butter: Provides richness and flavor making the cobbler topping decadent.
  • 1 large egg: Binds the ingredients together and helps with the rise.
  • 1 tsp cinnamon optional: Adds a warm spice note, making the dish even cozier.

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish to prepare for the cherry filling.
  2. Prepare the cherries: In a large mixing bowl, combine 4 cups cherries, 1/2 cup sugar, 1 tbsp cornstarch, 1 tsp vanilla, and 1 tsp almond extract (if using). Stir gently until the cherries are well-coated in the mixture. Spread this filling evenly in the prepared baking dish.
  3. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup flour, 1 tsp baking powder, 1/2 cup sugar (reserve the rest for the cherry mixture), and 1/4 tsp salt.
  4. Mix wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup milk, 1/4 cup melted butter, and 1 large egg until well blended.
  5. Combine wet and dry ingredients: Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and stir gently until just combined; avoid over-mixing to keep the cobbler topping tender.
  6. Assemble the cobbler: Pour the batter over the cherry filling, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle 1 tsp cinnamon on top if desired, adding a warm note to the dish.
  7. Bake to perfection: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  8. Cool and serve: Once baked, let the cobbler cool slightly before serving. It’s perfect served warm!
