I brought this cobbler to small group last night. It was a huge hit. The recipe is one passed down from my Aunt Lois. The cherries came off my friend, Laurie’s tree. I love connecting with food like that. It means I can love it more.
Here’s what you’ll need:
2 – 2 1/2 cups sweetened fruit
1 cup flour
1 cup sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. baking powder
1 cup milk
1/2 cup butter
*Note* I used about twice the amount of fruit called for and 1 1/2 times the batter recipe. This made a pretty big pan. You can use sour pitted cherries or blackberries or even mixed berries. Just add about a cup of sugar (or since I had twice the fruit, I used nearly 2 cups of sugar) to sweeten the fruit.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Put the stick of butter in the pan and pop it in the oven to melt the butter. In a bowl combine the sugar, flour, salt, baking powder and milk. Take the pan with the melted butter out of the oven and pour the batter over the top of the butter, like this.
Place the fruit over the batter. If your fruit is very juicy, dip it out with a slotted spoon. Some juice is okay, but you don’t want too much.
Bake it at 375 degrees for 45 minutes. When it comes out of the oven it will look like this.
People will love you for making this for them. If you serve it warm with ice cream they might even hug your neck. Make it and count the hugs you get.
looks fattening

Mmmm, good! Will be putting this one to the test this weekend!
Can you just come to my house and be my personal chef? Everything looks delicious!
I am in such a pickle…my mouth is watering and I have everything for this yummy dessert(admitted desert-aholic) except for a working oven!!!!
Yummy! I think I would try it with the mixed berries.
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm yum. I am so a fan of fruit desserts. How lucky for you to have the tree to pick it from. I wish we did!
Whoops. I totally missed the filling in my name part. Sorry
What a treat this is with fresh cherries! Looks so scrumptious!
Wow, all your stuff looks so good!!!!
Oh man, that looks delicious! I’d love to try it with blackberries!
Made this recipe with blackberries, strawberries and blueberries. WOW!! Best cobbler I’ve ever had and so simple to make. Thanks for a great recipe.
Hi! This looks delicious!! I am curious what size pan you used, and how many people does it serve? I am hoping to make this tonight for a crowd of helpful movers and want to make sure I have enough, and that the pan is big enough!
Thanks!
The dish I used for this was smaller than 9×13 but deep. It will serve 10-12 I think if you do a double recipe. For a single recipe I use a 2 quart casserole dish.
