Cherry Cobbler with Cake Mix

Erin Indahl-Fink
Looking to make a cake mix cherry cobbler, but want to do it without pie filling? My lighter version substitutes fresh or frozen cherries instead of pie filling and uses a sugar-free cake mix. The flavor is incredible in this cherry cobbler with cake mix!

Equipment

  • Oval Baking Dish This Staub 9" Oval baking dish is perfect for cobblers, crumbles, casseroles and more!
  • Glass Mixing Bowls Ideal for cooking and baking, and great for anything that needs to go into a microwave.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 (16 oz. pkgs.) frozen cherries or 4 heaping cups, fresh, pitted cherries
  • 1 (16.25 oz. box) yellow cake mix can also use sugar-free, white or lemon cake mix
  • 1/2 cup butter (1 stick), melted

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a medium baking dish, add the fresh or frozen cherries. If cherries are frozen they do not have to be thawed. Set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, add the dry cake mix. Pour in the melted butter and mix together with a fork until crumbly.
  • Sprinkle the cake mix mixture evenly over the top of the cherries.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes or until top of crumble is golden brown.
  • Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm over vanilla ice cream. Refrigerate or freeze any leftovers.

Notes

Storage: Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator. Kept refrigerated, cobbler will keep for up to 3-4 days.
Freezing: I've discovered that freezing the leftovers into individual cups is ideal. A cupcake pan lined with cupcake liners works well. Freeze these, and then remove the lined servings into a resealable plastic bag. Reheat your desired servings as you need them.
