There are many things about summer that I love: dipping my toes into beach water, taking naps on a hot, lazy day, wearing flip flops daily, ICE CREAM, and having access to an abundance of wonderful fruits and vegetables in markets and at farm stands. I bought so many cherries at the store the other day. They have been nothing short of amazing. Fresh cherries are fantastic in the middle of summer- so sweet and perfect for making an easy cherry cobbler!
I piled some of my fresh cherries into a bowl and we went into our backyard and oohed and ahhed at them. My son took a silly picture of me oohing and ahhing.
How to make Easy Cherry Cobbler:
So what do you do when you have loads of fresh cherries? You make cherry cobbler, of course! Like I said before, it’s easy. Pile cherries into a little casserole dish and drizzle them with lemon juice.
Crumble an easy-to-mix cobbler topping on top. My Mom was visiting for dinner the night that I made the cobbler, and she happens to be gluten-free… so I tried out some of the Cup 4 Cup All-Purpose Gluten-Free Flour Blend for this recipe (you can use regular flour if you’re not gluten-free). As they say on their package, you can use this flour in place of regular flour for baking. We thought it was really very good. I can’t wait to try it with some of my cookie recipes.
Here it is all baked-up. I love how the cherry juices ooze into the top layer.
And there you have it: an easy cherry cobbler recipe. When baked, the cherries become soft and wonderful. They retain their sweetness and their juices too. We top our cobbler with a little whipped cream, but ice cream is a good idea too.
