Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 can cherry pie filling
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Ensure that your oven rack is positioned in the center for even baking.
- Gather all your ingredients: 1 can of cherry pie filling, 1 box of yellow cake mix, 1/2 cup of unsalted butter (melted), and 1/2 cup of chopped nuts (if desired).
- In a 9x13-inch baking dish, pour the entire can of cherry pie filling evenly across the bottom. Spread it out with a spatula to ensure an even layer.
- If you are using chopped nuts, sprinkle them evenly over the cherry pie filling.
- In a separate mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix and melted butter. Stir until the mixture is crumbly and well combined. The batter should resemble coarse crumbs.
- Evenly distribute the cake mix and butter mixture over the cherry pie filling. Do not stir; simply spread it out to cover the filling as much as possible.
- If you have chosen to use nuts, sprinkle the remaining chopped nuts over the top of the cake mix layer for added texture and flavor.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling around the edges.
- Once baked, remove the cobbler from the oven and allow it to cool for about 10 minutes before serving. This will help the filling set slightly.
- Serve warm, optionally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra treat!
Tips
- Use fresh, high-quality cherry pie filling for the best flavor and texture.
- For extra crunch, toast the chopped nuts before sprinkling them over the cobbler.
- Don't overmix the cake mix and butter - keep it slightly crumbly for the best texture.
- Check the cobbler at the 25-minute mark to prevent over-browning.
- Let the cobbler rest for 10 minutes after baking to allow the filling to set and cool slightly.
- Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra indulgent experience.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator and reheat gently in the oven for best results.
- For a twist, try using different pie fillings like blueberry or peach.
