Easy Cherry Cobbler Recipe

Ingredients:

• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• ⅔ cup granulated sugar
• 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups cherries (fresh, frozen, or canned—if using canned, drain the juice)
• Optional: vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for serving

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Melt the butter:
   • Place the butter in a 9×9-inch baking dish (or a similar-sized oven-safe dish). Put the dish in the oven while it preheats to melt the butter. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
3. Prepare the batter:
   • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
   • Add the milk and vanilla extract, and stir until just combined. The batter will be slightly lumpy—that’s okay!
4. Assemble the cobbler:
   • Once the butter has melted, carefully remove the baking dish from the oven. Pour the batter evenly over the melted butter—do not stir.
   • Scatter the cherries evenly over the batter. They will sink slightly as the cobbler bakes.
5. Bake:
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Serve:
   • Let the cobbler cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. It’s delicious on its own or topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

Tips:

• Use other fruits: Swap the cherries for blueberries, peaches, blackberries, or a mix of your favorite fruits.
• Add a crunchy topping: Sprinkle a handful of coarse sugar or chopped nuts (like almonds or pecans) over the batter before baking for extra texture.
• Make it ahead: This cobbler can be made a few hours in advance and reheated before serving.
