Easy Cherry Cobbler Recipe

This easy cherry cobbler recipe couldn’t be any easier.  Seriously.

There are many things about summer that I love: dipping my toes into beach water, taking naps on a hot, lazy day, wearing flip flops daily, ICE CREAM, and having access to an abundance of wonderful fruits and vegetables in markets and at farm stands. I bought so many cherries at the store the other day. They have been nothing short of amazing. Fresh cherries are fantastic in the middle of summer- so sweet and perfect for making an easy cherry cobbler!

I piled some of my fresh cherries into a bowl and we went into our backyard and oohed and ahhed at them.  My son took a silly picture of me oohing and ahhing.

How to make Easy Cherry Cobbler:

So what do you do when you have loads of fresh cherries?  You make cherry cobbler, of course!  Like I said before, it’s easy.  Pile cherries into a little casserole dish and drizzle them with lemon juice.

Crumble an easy-to-mix cobbler topping on top.  My Mom was visiting for dinner the night that I made the cobbler, and she happens to be gluten-free… so I tried out some of the Cup 4 Cup All-Purpose Gluten-Free Flour Blend for this recipe (you can use regular flour if you’re not gluten-free).  As they say on their package, you can use this flour in place of regular flour for baking.  We thought it was really very good.  I can’t wait to try it with some of my cookie recipes.

Here it is all baked-up.  I love how the cherry juices ooze into the top layer.

And there you have it:  an easy cherry cobbler recipe.   When baked, the cherries become soft and wonderful.  They retain their sweetness and their juices too.  We top our cobbler with a little whipped cream, but ice cream is a good idea too.

Ingredients

COBBLER:

• ▢ 5 cups fresh cherries (pitted and left whole)
• ▢ 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
• ▢ 1 cup granulated white sugar
• ▢ 1 cup all purpose flour
• ▢ 1 large egg, beaten
• ▢ 6 tablespoons salted butter, melted

TOPPING:

• ▢ 1/2 cup whipping cream or heavy cream
• ▢ 1/2 tablespoon powdered sugar
• ▢ whole cherries, for garnish (if desired)

Instructions 

MAKE THE COBBLER:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Butter an 8x8-inch square pan (or similar-sized round casserole dish).
• Pile the cherries into the prepared dish and sprinkle with lemon juice.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the sugar and flour. Use a fork to stir in the egg. Keep stirring until the egg is incorporated into the dry ingredients and it's a crumbly mixture.
• Crumble the crumbly mixture over the cherries. Drizzle melted butter on top.
• Bake 35 to 45 minutes, until the top is a nice golden brown and the cherry juices are bubbling. Remove from the oven and cover with foil to keep warm until you're ready to serve.

PREPARE THE TOPPING:

• Use a hand mixer to whip the cream in a medium bowl. Add powdered sugar during mixing, and continue to mix until the cream is thick. Serve whipped cream over individual plates of cobbler. Top with a fresh cherry, for garnish, if desired.

Notes

• *For pitting cherries, it's easiest to use a cherry pitter like this one: OXO Cherry Pitter
• *If you are preparing this as gluten-free, use 1 cup of gluten-free all-purpose flour to replace the regular all-purpose. I used Cup 4 Cup Gluten Free Flour Blend and it worked out great. They sell it in the Williams Sonoma stores too.
