Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 cup milk
- ½ cup (113 grams) butter
Fruit Ingredient:
- 1 (21 ounces/595 grams) can cherry pie filling
Leavening Agent:
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
- Prepare the oven by heating it to a low temperature of 275°F, creating an ideal environment for melting butter in a spacious 9×13-inch baking dish.
- While the butter softens and liquefies, craft a smooth batter by whisking together flour, sugar, and baking powder in a separate mixing bowl.
- Introduce milk into the dry ingredients, gently stirring until just combined, maintaining a light and airy texture without excessive mixing.
- Retrieve the baking dish with its molten butter, then carefully pour the prepared batter directly over the butter, allowing the two to coexist without blending.
- Distribute the vibrant cherry pie filling evenly across the surface, letting the layers naturally settle and interact during the baking process.
- Elevate the oven temperature to 350°F, transforming the environment for optimal cobbler development.
- Bake the dessert for approximately 50-60 minutes, watching for a golden-brown transformation that signals a perfectly executed cherry delight cobbler.
Notes
- Low and slow butter melting ensures even distribution across the baking dish for a perfect golden base.
- Gentle mixing of batter prevents toughness, creating a delicate, light texture in the final dessert.
- No stirring is crucial – this technique allows natural layering of butter, batter, and cherry filling during baking.
- Lower initial oven temperature helps butter melt smoothly without burning or creating uneven spots.
- Temperature increase halfway through baking creates a beautiful golden-brown crust and helps set the cobbler’s layers.
- Perfect dessert for summer gatherings, potlucks, or when craving a quick, impressive sweet treat with minimal effort.
