Servings: 3
Equipment
- 8 inch square cake pan
- mixing bowl set
- measuring cups and spoons
Ingredients
Cherry Filling:
- 5 cups Fresh Cherries (pitted)
- 2 Tablespoons Sugar
- 2 teaspoons Cornstarch *
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1/4 teaspoon Almond Extract
Cherry Cobbler Topping:
- 1/2 cup Butter (melted)
- 3/4 cup Sugar
- 1 cup Flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
- Sparkling Sugar (to sprinkle on the top)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Pit the cherries, by removing the pits. Place the pitted cherries into a bowl and toss with sugar, cornstarch, vanilla, and almond extracts.
- In a medium bowl, add melted butter, sugar, flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir together until all of the ingredients are combined.
- Pour the cherries into a 8-inch baking pan. Roll the cobbler topping into balls and then flatten the balls with the palm of your hand. Place on top of the cherries, trying to cover most of the cherries. Sprinkle with a touch of sugar.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the cherry juices are bubbling and the cobbler topping is a light golden color.
- Remove from the oven and let sit for 15 minutes to allow the juices to set up. Serve with vanilla bean ice cream.
Notes
- I suggest using fresh pitted cherries but if you would like to use frozen cherries, I suggest increasing the cornstarch to 1 1/2 - 2 Tablespoons.
