FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ’S)
Can I use a different pie filling? This cobbler recipe is ridiculously easy to make. Feel free to change up the pie filling for any one you enjoy: apple pie filling‚ peach pie filling and blueberry pie filling are all delicious with this recipe. Do I have to use a skillet? If you don’t have an oven-safe skillet‚ just use a 9×9-inch square baking dish. What if I can’t find Jiffy Cake Mix? Just go with a regular yellow cake mix – however‚ you will only use a little more than half of that cake mix for this recipe as the Jiffy cake mixes are only 9 ounces and a normal box of cake mix is 15.25 ounces. Note: At the time of writing this‚ Duncan Hines cake mixes are 15.25 ounces and Betty Crocker is 13.25 ounces. Can I make this a low sugar cobbler? You can use lower sugar options for the pie filling. I don’t think Jiffy makes a low or zero sugar cake mix so you’d have to go with another brand. Can I add nuts? Yes. Since we are using an optional almond extract‚ it would be a great twist to add some slivered almonds. It would add a fun texture to the cobbler. Or you can just top with almonds. You could also use pecans or walnuts. What toppings can I add? As I showed in the first picture‚ you can serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. But you can also enjoy this by itself or with some whipped topping. Maybe a drizzle of strawberry or chocolate syrup as well. Why is the cobbler topping a bit darker? It is only from the cinnamon. It is not over baked or burned. To make the topping lighter in color‚ you can just omit the cinnamon. How to store leftover cherry cobbler? Any leftover cobbler should be stored in an airtight container or covered with plastic wrap tightly and should be stored in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. Leftovers should be reheated in a skillet in the oven. Can you freeze cherry cobbler? Yes. Place cobbler into a freezer safe container and it can be frozen for up to 3 months.
INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (SEE RECIPE CARD BELOW FOR THE FULL RECIPE)
cherry pie filling – this recipe also works with apple‚ peach‚ blueberry and strawberry pie fillings. You can also go with low sugar options too.
almond extract (optional) – I think almond extract goes really well with cherry pie filling but if you can’t find it or you don’t like that flavor then just leave it out.
butter – I almost always go with salted butter here but if you only have unsalted then just use that.
Jiffy Golden Yellow Cake Mix (not a paid affiliate link) – this is probably the cheapest cake mix you’ll find. It’s usually on the very bottom shelf at your grocery store. See my FAQ’s above for additional options.
cinnamon (optional) – I like the flavor the ground cinnamon adds but if it’s not your thing‚ then just leave it out.
HOW TO MAKE EASY CHERRY COBBLER
Preheat the oven to 350° F. Spray a 10-inch skillet with nonstick cooking spray. Pour the cans of pie filling into the bottom of the skillet. Stir in the almond extract‚ if using. In a medium bowl‚ stir together the cake mix‚ melted butter‚ and cinnamon.
Drop the batter by dollops on top of the filling. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until the batter is set.
Serve warm.
