Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Fresh or frozen black cherries (pitted)
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar (packed)
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (cold and cubed)
- 0.5 cups Milk
- 1 unit Egg (beaten)
- 1 tablespoon Coarse sugar (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine the black cherries, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon.
Cook the cherry mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the cherries release their juices and the mixture begins to thicken, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the cold butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually stir in the milk and beaten egg, mixing just until a dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the cherry mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Using a spoon or your hands, dollop the dough over the cherries, leaving a few small gaps for the filling to bubble through.
If desired, sprinkle the top of the dough with coarse sugar for added texture and sweetness.
Bake the cobbler in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the cherry filling is bubbling.
Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream!
