Ingredients:
- 2 cups sour cherries, drained
- 1 cup sugar + extra for sprinkling
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup oleo (melted)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 eggs
Instructions:
-
Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s nice and toasty when your cobbler is ready to bake.
-
In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of sugar, 1 cup of flour, salt, and the melted stick of oleo, then gently incorporate the two eggs into the mixture, ensuring everything is well combined. This will form the dough for your cobbler topping, so mix it by hand until you achieve a smooth consistency. Once mixed, set this dough mixture aside for later use.
-
Take your drained sour cherries and place them in the bottom of a round cake pan, evenly distributing them to form a luscious fruit layer.
-
Sprinkle a light dusting of sugar over the cherries, just enough to enhance their natural sweetness without overpowering their tart flavor profile.
-
Now, it’s time to add the dough mixture over the cherries. Using a spoon, carefully spoon the dough over the cherries, ensuring an even distribution across the entire surface.
-
With your cobbler assembled and ready to go, slide it into the preheated oven and let it bake for approximately 1 hour, or until the crust turns golden brown and the cherry filling begins to bubble invitingly.
-
Once baked to perfection, remove your Cherry Cobbler from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before serving. This brief cooling period allows the flavors to meld and intensify, resulting in a truly irresistible dessert experience.
-
Serve your Cherry Cobbler warm, accompanied by a generous scoop of your favorite ice cream, for the ultimate indulgence. Alternatively, if you prefer, let it cool completely and enjoy it chilled—it’s just as delicious either way!
This Cherry Cobbler recipe is a delightful blend of tangy cherries nestled beneath a golden crust, making it the perfect dessert for any occasion. Whether you’re hosting a dinner party or simply craving a sweet treat, this easy-to-make cobbler is sure to impress with its irresistible flavor and comforting simplicity.
