Directions
-
Preheat your oven to 425ðF (218ðC) and lightly grease a 1-quart casserole dish or baking dish.
-
Drain the can of tart red cherries, reserving the juice. Measure out about 1/4 cup of the reserved juice and set aside; discard the rest or save for another use.
-
In a medium saucepan, combine the reserved cherry juice, 1/4 cup sugar, and 4 teaspoons of cornstarch. Whisk until smooth.
-
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil and thickens slightly, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
-
Stir the drained cherries and 1 tablespoon of butter (or margarine) into the thickened cherry mixture until well combined.
-
Pour the hot cherry mixture into the prepared casserole dish and spread it out evenly.
-
In a separate bowl, blend the cobbler mix with 1 tablespoon of sugar. Add 1/4 cup of milk gradually, mixing until a soft dough forms.
-
Drop spoonfuls of the dough evenly over the top of the hot cherry filling in the casserole dish.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and cooked through.
-
Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Serve warm, optionally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
