Best Cherry Cobbler One-Pot Recipe Easy Skillet Dessert
This easy one-pot cherry cobbler recipe delivers a rustic dessert with tender biscuits floating on a thick, sweet cherry filling.
Equipment
- 12-inch oven-safe skillet
Ingredients
For the Filling:
- 6 cups jarred sour cherries in light syrup drained (reserve 2 cups syrup)
- ½ cup 3½ ounces granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon ground allspice
- Pinch ground nutmeg
- Pinch table salt
For the Topping:
- 1½ cups 7½ ounces all-purpose flour
- 5 tablespoons 2¼ ounces granulated sugar
- 1½ teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon table salt
- ¾ cup buttermilk
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 2 tablespoons turbinado sugar or granulated sugar for substitution
Instructions
- For the filling: Adjust oven rack to the middle position and preheat oven to 400°F. In a 12-inch oven-safe skillet, whisk together cherry syrup, sugar, cornstarch, vanilla, allspice, nutmeg, and salt until well combined. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, whisking frequently, until slightly thickened (about 5 to 7 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in drained cherries.
- For the topping: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir in buttermilk and melted butter until just combined. Using a small ice cream scoop or two large spoons, drop 1-inch pieces of dough onto the filling, spacing them about ½ inch apart. Sprinkle biscuits with turbinado sugar.
- Bake the cobbler: Transfer skillet to the oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, rotating the skillet halfway through, until biscuits are golden brown and filling is thick and glossy. Let cool for 15 minutes before serving.
