This Cherry Cobbler recipe is the best. A deliciously simple way to enjoy fresh cherries without too much work.
While Cherry Pie is not my favorite, I would eat Cherry Cobbler any day. With just a few ingredients, you are only 45 minutes away from having a sweet and slightly tart dessert. Bonus – it is just stunning to serve at the dinner table.
I love making simple, easy desserts that use fruit that is in season over the summer. Something about being in Colorado is the Palisade peaches; they seriously are the best! I also love making Peach Cobbler, and it is the Best Ever Peach Cobbler because I always make them with Palisade peaches.
My Favorite Kitchen Tools To Make This Recipe
From trusty pots and pans to handy gadgets, I’ve curated a list of products I use and love.
Another classic is my son Madden’s favorite Best Ever Apple Crisp; what makes this the best ever you ask? The topping my friends!
Since I made my Best Ever Peach Cobbler, I have been slightly obsessed with cobblers.
The hardest part of this recipe is taking the seed out of every cherry. Although much more manageable with my cherry pitter, a kitchen must-have.
The crumb topping sets this cobbler recipe apart from all the other recipes. I learned from a friend a while back to use a yellow cake mix instead of flour.
Once I did this, I never used flour again in my cobbler recipes. It gives the crumb topping a cake-like sweetness without overpowering the filling. The cherries still shine as the cobbler star, but trust me, this crumb topping is to die for.
So while cherries are in season, which is not much longer here in Colorado, try out this fantastic Cherry Cobbler Recipe. My family has enjoyed it and I am sure yours will too.

How do you make Cherry Cobbler?
There are few things as delicious as a freshly-baked cherry cobbler. And while this dessert is relatively easy to make, there are a few key steps that will help ensure your cobbler turns out perfectly every time. Here’s what you need to know about making the perfect cherry cobbler.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Remove stems from all of the cherries and remove the seeds.
Add cherries, lemon juice, cornstarch, brown sugar, white sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon in a large bowl. Gently toss to combine.
Pour cherry mixture into a skillet or 2-quart baking dish.
Mix yellow cake mix, brown sugar, salt, and baking powder in a medium mixing bowl. Stir to combine.
Add butter, and cut butter into the mixture using a pastry blender or a fork until it resembles coarse crumbs. Add crumb topping to cover the cherries entirely.
Set in the oven and bake for 25-35 minutes or until the crumb topping is a nice golden brown and the juice from the cherries is bubbling.
Serve immediately or let it cool and serve later; it’s great either way, especially with vanilla ice cream or whipped topping.

Since the day I found out about your blog, I have learned quite a few delicious things. I love your blog, because these dishes are not too difficult to make, sometimes surprisingly simple! But the effect is amazing!
I just really enjoyed cooking (cooking for my family) a few years ago, when I stumbled across a tutorial on how to make a simple homemade scone and I did it. So I often go online to find delicious dishes for my family, your blog is one of the blogs I’m most interested in, because your dish is not too difficult to make, delicious, and has a variety of dishes!
And I want to ask that if I am a person who is looking to lose weight, what should I choose foods with the maximum calorie content, which will be good for my weight loss! Thank you for sharing!

This is such a gorgeous dessert! My family would love it!
The cake mix as a topping is genius. I’ll never make my cobblers another way.
Looks absolutely delicious! I’m excited to make this!
Cherry desserts are my favorite! I will pin this recipe to make it later!
Cobbler is always a great dessert! Love cherry
I’m not commenting on the cobbler although it sounds good. I want to know if any one these reviewers have made this!! It’s so annoying that there are 100 comments on how it looks but none on taste! I really think cutting back and leaving out those types of comments should would be much better. What good do they do anyone?
I agree, but then you also left a rating of one star…so not sure that helps either.
I love and do it
Made from just 9 ingredients, this easy cherry cobbler is one of the simplest desserts you could make with fresh cherries. Pit and halve cherries, whisk together a batter, and bake—it really is that easy. When cherries aren’t in season, you can use frozen. Enjoy warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream—dessert is served!
Aw, so happy you loved it – made my day
I froze some pitted cherries a month ago.
Just wondering what kind of cherries you use?
I used Bing cherries.
