Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh or frozen cherries
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for topping)
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (for sprinkling)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium saucepan, combine the cherries, 0.75 cups of granulated sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until the mixture thickens and starts to bubble, about 5-7 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Pour the cherry mixture into a greased 9-inch baking dish and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the milk and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until just combined, forming a thick batter.
Drop spoonfuls of the batter over the cherry mixture, leaving a few gaps to allow steam to escape.
Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar evenly over the cobbler topping.
Place the baking dish on a baking sheet to catch any drips, and bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the cherry filling is bubbling around the edges.
Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of freshly whipped cream, if desired.
