  • 1 cup self rising flour
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar (divided)

How To Make perfect cherry cobbler

  • Step 1
    In a small mixing bowl mix cherry pie filling with 1/2 cup sugar, or Splenda if desired.
  • Step 2
    Preheat oven to 350* F. Place a stick of butter in a glass 9 x 11 baking pan and put in the oven to melt the butter. Remove from oven as soon as butter is melted, about 5 minutes.
  • Step 3
    In a mixing bowl mix flour, 1 cup sugar, egg, milk and vanilla until about smooth. When butter is melted pour batter into the hot butter - it will spread out on its own.
  • Step 4
    Drop pie filling and sugar mixture by large spoonfuls into batter all around the baking dish. The batter will rise up and surround the cherries during the baking process. Bake at 350* for 1 hour.
