Ingredients
  

For the Cherry Filling
  • 2 cups fresh or canned cherries, pitted Fresh are best in season; if using frozen, thaw and drain.
  • 1 cup granulated sugar Split between fruit and batter as desired (1/2 cup for filling).
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch Helps thicken cherry juices.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Batter
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour Can be substituted with a gluten-free blend.
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk Whole or 2% for richness.
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted Dairy-free option: swap for coconut oil.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish (about 8x8-inch or similar).
  2. In a bowl, combine the cherries, 1/2 cup of the sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla. Toss gently until the cherries are evenly coated. Transfer to the prepared dish and spread into an even layer.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and the remaining 1/2 cup sugar.
  4. Stir in the milk and melted butter to the dry ingredients just until combined. The batter should be pourable but not completely smooth — small lumps are fine.
  5. Pour the batter evenly over the cherry mixture. Don’t worry if the fruit peeks through in places — that’s normal.
Baking
  1. Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the cherries are bubbling around the edges.
  2. Allow the cobbler to cool for 10–15 minutes before serving so the filling sets slightly. Serve warm.

Notes

Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. For a twist, try serving with a drizzle of warmed cherry syrup from the pan.
