Sweet Cherry Cobbler Recipe

The filling:

5 cups pitted sweet cherries, can be fresh or frozen

3 TBS honey

1 TBS lemon juice

1 tsp vanilla extract (here’s how you can make your own!)

1 TBS cornstarch (I highly recommend this kind to guarantee it is GMO free!)

The Topping:

1 cup all purpose flour

1/4 cup unrefined sugar

2 TBS brown sugar

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

3 TBS butter chopped in small pieces

3 TBS milk

1 egg

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place all the filling ingredients in a pan on the stove and heat on medium/high. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Heat until the sauce starts to thicken then remove from heat. Pour the filling into an 8×8 baking dish and set it aside.

2. Mix the flour, sugar, brown sugar, baking powder and cinnamon in a mixing bowl. Sprinkle the butter pieces on top of the dry ingredients in the bowl. Using a pastry blender (if you don’t know what this is, this is the one we have), cut in the butter until the mixture is crumbly.

3. In a separate small bowl, beat the one egg. Add the milk to the egg and stir until mixed. Pour the milk/egg mixture into the bowl with the crumbly mixture. Use a fork and mash it all together until a soft dough forms.

4. Drop the dough by little tablespoon size blobs onto the top of the cherry filling. The top does not need to be perfectly covered with dough since the dough will spread a bit when baking.

5. Place the cherry cobbler in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the topping is golden brown.
