  • Optional: 1 tbsp coarse sugar for sprinkling


Instructions:

  1. Prepare the cherry filling:
    In a mixing bowl, combine cherries with sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Toss well to coat. Pour into a greased 9-inch baking dish or deep pie pan.

  2. Make the topping:
    In another bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the cold butter cubes and cut them into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  3. Add milk and egg:
    Beat the egg with milk, then pour it into the flour mixture. Stir just until combined—do not overmix.

  4. Assemble the cobbler:
    Drop spoonfuls of the dough over the cherry mixture, spreading gently but leaving some cherries peeking through for a rustic look. Sprinkle coarse sugar on top if desired.

  5. Bake:
    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the cobbler for 35–40 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the cherries are bubbly around the edges.

  6. Cool slightly before serving:
    Let the cobbler rest for 10–15 minutes to allow the filling to set slightly before serving.


Conclusion:
This Homemade Cherry Cobbler is the epitome of rustic charm and classic flavor. Bursting with juicy cherries and topped with a sweet, biscuit-like crust, it’s a dessert that feels like a warm hug. Enjoy it fresh and warm with your favorite scoop of ice cream, and you’ll have a dish that brings everyone back for seconds. It’s timeless, easy, and always a hit!
