Ingredients:
- 1 can (21 oz) cherry pie filling
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions:
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
Step 2: Prepare the Batter
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and well combined.
Step 3: Assemble the Cobbler
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish. Spoon the cherry pie filling evenly over the batter. Do not stir; the batter will rise around the cherries as it bakes.
Step 4: Bake
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 5: Cool and Serve
Allow the cobbler to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Tips:
- For a crispier topping, sprinkle a little cinnamon sugar over the batter before baking.
- Substitute different pie fillings, such as blueberry or peach, for variety.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
