Equipment

  • 1 9-inch round cake pan greased and floured
  • 1 electric mixer
  • 1 Mixing Bowl large

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 cup sugar

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 2/3 cup milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Cherry Filling

  • 1 can 21 oz cherry pie filling

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure your cobbler bakes evenly.
  • Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan. Spread the cherry pie filling evenly in the pan.

Mix the Batter

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and sugar until well combined.
  • Stir the melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract into the dry ingredients. Mix until you have a smooth batter.

Assemble and Bake

  • Pour the batter over the cherry pie filling, spreading it gently with a spatula to cover the cherries.
  • Place the pan into the preheated oven and bake for 50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Serving and Storage

  • Allow the cobbler to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. This will help the filling set and makes it easier to slice.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat slices in the oven or microwave before serving.
