Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh cherries in this easy cherry cobbler instead of canned filling?
Absolutely! If you're feeling like a domestic goddess (or god!), fresh cherries will elevate your easy cherry cobbler. Pit about 4 cups of fresh cherries, toss them with 1/2 cup of sugar, 2 tablespoons of cornstarch, and a squeeze of lemon juice.
You might need to adjust the sugar depending on the sweetness of your cherries.
The topping on my cobbler is browning too quickly, what should I do?
Don't panic! This happens sometimes, especially if your oven runs hot. Simply tent a piece of foil loosely over the baking dish for the last 10-15 minutes of baking. This will protect the topping from burning while allowing the cherry filling to continue bubbling away merrily, ensuring your easy cherry cobbler bakes perfectly.
How do I store leftover easy cherry cobbler?
Leftovers are the best! Allow the cobbler to cool completely, then cover it tightly with plastic wrap or transfer it to an airtight container. Store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can reheat individual portions in the microwave or oven. It’s practically a new dessert every time!
Can I make this cobbler ahead of time?
You can definitely get a head start! Prepare the cherry filling and the cobbler topping separately. Store the filling in the baking dish, covered, in the refrigerator. Mix the dry topping ingredients and store in an airtight container.
Just before baking, cut in the cold butter, add the milk, and assemble the easy cherry cobbler as directed. This prevents the topping from getting soggy.
Is there a vegan version of this easy cherry cobbler I can make?
You bet! Simply substitute the butter in the topping with a vegan butter alternative, like a good quality baking block. Use plant based milk, like almond or soy milk, in place of regular milk. Double check the ingredients in your canned cherry pie filling to ensure it's vegan friendly, as some may contain gelatin.
Now you can enjoy a cruelty free easy cherry cobbler!
What can I serve with my Easy Cherry Cobbler?
Serving suggestions really depend on the crowd you want to please. I highly recommend serving this easy cherry cobbler warm with a generous scoop of good quality vanilla ice cream, like Haagen Dazs. Alternatively, whipped cream or creme fraiche is a great choice.
For a bit of added fun, dust with icing sugar, or drizzle with salted caramel sauce for a richer flavour.
