Homemade Cherry Cobbler With Cake Batter Topping Recipe

Recipe By The Spruce Eats

This homemade cherry cobbler starts with canned cherries and a cake batter topping you will make from scratch. It's easy to do and you can use your own home-canned cherries if you have them available. For the best cobbler, choose sour red cherries. The tartness will come through and play well with the sweet topping, giving you the most cherry flavor. A cobbler is defined as a fruit dessert with a biscuit-like topping. Cobblers take their name from the cobblestone appearance of the biscuit dough or cake batter dollops spooned on before baking. You don't have to work to make the top smooth, and the delicious topping bubbling up from crevices in the topping make it even more tasty. Cobblers don't have a bottom crust, so they are often baked in a square or oblong pan to serve informally. Each serving is spooned out and then you can top it with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream. Another option is to bake separate servings in ramekins, which you may wish to do for a more polished presentation.
