Ingredients

• 4 cups Fresh or frozen black cherries (pitted)
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar (packed)
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 2 teaspoons Fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (cold and cubed)
• 0.5 cups Milk
• 1 unit Egg (beaten)
• 1 tablespoon Coarse sugar (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray and set aside.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the black cherries, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon.

Step 3

Cook the cherry mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the cherries release their juices and the mixture begins to thicken, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 5

Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the cold butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 6

Gradually stir in the milk and beaten egg, mixing just until a dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 7

Pour the cherry mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.

Step 8

Using a spoon or your hands, dollop the dough over the cherries, leaving a few small gaps for the filling to bubble through.

Step 9

If desired, sprinkle the top of the dough with coarse sugar for added texture and sweetness.

Step 10

Bake the cobbler in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the cherry filling is bubbling.

Step 11

Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream!
