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.

Cherry Cobbler
Ingredients
- 6 cups cherries stemmed and pitted (if you have more cherries, use them!, up to 8 cups)
- 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Crumb Topping
- 1 1/4 cups yellow cake mix (just the mix!)
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 6 tablespoon chilled butter
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Remove stems from all of the cherries and remove seeds.
- In a large bowl, add cherries, lemon juice, cornstarch, brown sugar, white sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon. Gently toss to combine. Pour cherry mixture into skillet or 2-quart baking dish.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine yellow cake mix, brown sugar, salt, and baking powder. Stir to combine. Add butter, and using a pastry blender or a fork, cut butter into the mixture 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 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.

Yummy! This cobbler is so delicious and flavorful! My hubby and son loved this recipe. I’ll be making this cobbler again! Such a lovely and tasty treat!
Topping never turned out right. Wouldn’t crumb up
Was the butter chilled when you mixed it into the crumble?
Is there any way to make this ahead of time? For instance, could the cherry mixture be made the night before? Thanks! Was hoping to make for 4th of July!
Hi Emma, the cobbler should last 4-5 days in the fridge or up to 3 months in the freezer so you can definitely prepare it ahead of time! You can either reheat it in the microwave or in the oven on a low temperature for about 15 minutes.
