Ingredients
  

Cobbler Filling

  • 1.75 cup sugar
  • 3 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 3 cans Bing cherries (13.25 oz each, pitted in syrup) reserve the juice
  • 0.25 cup unsalted butter cut into small pieces

Cobbler Topping

  • 3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 0.25 cup sugar
  • 4.5 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1.5 cup milk

For Topping (Optional)

  • sugar for sprinkling
  • cinnamon for sprinkling

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Drain the cherries, carefully reserving all the juice. Spread the pitted cherries evenly over the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • In a small saucepan, combine 1.5 cups of the reserved cherry juice, 1.75 cups of sugar, and the cornstarch. Stir well. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to low and simmer for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until it thickens into a sauce. Pour 1.5 cups of this hot cherry sauce over the cherries in the baking dish. Set the remaining sauce aside for serving.
  • Dot the cherries and sauce with the 0.25 cup of butter pieces.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, 0.25 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the 0.5 cup of melted butter and stir until crumbly. Then, stir in the 1.5 cups of milk until just combined to form a thick batter. Spoon this batter evenly over the cherry mixture in the baking dish.
  • If desired, sprinkle the top with a little extra sugar and cinnamon for added flavor and crunch.
  • Bake for 30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  • Let the cobbler cool slightly for a few minutes before serving warm with the reserved cherry sauce.

Notes

This Winter Cherry Cobbler is best served warm, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra decadent treat. The tartness of the cherries combined with the sweet, cake-like topping is a delightful contrast.
