Fresh Cherry Cobbler
By: FlemishMinx
Jul 10, 2003
This is one of my absolute favorites. You can have the cherries macerating all afternoon, and whip up the finished product while you do the dinner dishes for a special evening dessert. My Belgian husband had never eaten a cobbler before this one, now he can't get enough . . .
SERVES 6
Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh pitted cherries (about 2 lbs uncleaned)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon quick-cooking tapioca
- 1/3 cup water
- 1 tablespoon butter
For the batter
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 1/4 cups flour
- 2 tablespoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup milk
Directions
1
Combine in a large saucepan the cherries, 3/4 cup sugar, tapioca and water.2
Let stand at least one hour and up to several hours, stirring occasionally.3
Cook and stir till slightly thickened and bubbly, about 5 to 10 minutes at a good boil.4
Add 1 TBS butter and set aside.5
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.6
Put the 1/2 cup butter in a 9 X 13-inch glass baking dish and put the dish in the preheating oven.7
While the butter is melting, mix the batter by combining flour, baking powder, salt, sugar and milk.8
When the butter is completely melted, remove the pan and pour the batter into the melted butter.9
The batter will immediately begin to cook, which is what you want.10
Carefully spoon the cherry mixture evenly over the batter.11
Return dish to oven and bake for approximately 20 minutes, or until batter sets and is browned.12
As the cobbler cooks, the batter will begin to rise up around the cherry mixture.13
Serve warm (or at room temperature) with vanilla ice cream, if desired.

My DH and I bought a bag of fresh cherries on sale last week and didn't know what to do with it until I tried this recipe. This may be the best cherry cobbler ever! I can see what others are saying about the buttery flavor but personally we liked it. Thanks for posting!

I think my problem is I used tart cherries, but it wasn't sweet enough. I modified it slightly by having 3 cups of cherries and kept the rest the same hoping it would sweeten them more. I added vanilla to the cherry pot and I added a little cinnamon to the batter. It was good with Whipped Cream though! We will eat it all, but next time more sugar for my tart cherries!

Fabulous! This cobbler is perfect, I wouldn't change a thing! A great use for fresh cherries. The cobbler is buttery tasting without being heavy. Has just the right amount of cherries without being too sweet or syrupy. I halved the recipe using a 9x9 square baking dish, but should have made the whole recipe as it was gone in no time. My 7 year-old said this was the best dessert he'd ever had, and ate at least half of the dish himself. Thanks, FlemishMinx, for a new favorite!

Wonderful flavor! When I first cut into this I was worried that there was not going to be enough fruit, but it tastes delicious- not too tart or too sweet, but just right with a nice buttery flavor overall. I did use thawed frozen pitted pie cherries in mine (couldn't find fresh). I also added one more tablespoon of tapioca to thicken it up (might have been due to my cherries) but that quickly and easily gave the cherries a good consistency. Very easy to make. I will be making this one again! Thanks for posting.
