Note

For best results, let the cobbler cool for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set slightly.

You can substitute fresh cherries for canned if in season; increase baking time by 10-15 minutes if using fresh fruit.

Serve warm with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or a drizzle of honey for added richness.

Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
