Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 can cherry pie filling
- 1 cup biscuit mix
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 can of cherry pie filling, 1 cup of biscuit mix, 1/2 cup of milk, 1/4 cup of sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, and 1/4 cup of melted butter.
- Prepare your crockpot by greasing the inside with a little butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Pour the cherry pie filling into the bottom of the crockpot, spreading it evenly to cover the base.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the biscuit mix, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and melted butter. Stir until just combined; do not overmix. The batter will be slightly lumpy.
- Carefully spoon the biscuit mixture over the cherry pie filling in the crockpot. Try to cover the filling as evenly as possible, but it's okay if some cherry filling peeks through.
- Cover the crockpot with its lid and set it to cook on low for about 4 hours. Avoid opening the lid during cooking, as this can affect the cooking time and texture.
- After 4 hours, check the cobbler for doneness. The biscuit topping should be set and lightly golden. If necessary, you can cook it for an additional 30 minutes.
- Once done, turn off the crockpot and let the cobbler sit for about 10-15 minutes before serving. This will help it set a bit more.
- Serve the cherry biscuit cobbler warm, optionally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for added indulgence.
Tips
- Use a non-stick cooking spray or butter your crockpot generously to prevent sticking and ensure easy serving.
- Do not overmix the biscuit batter - lumps are your friend and will create a more tender topping.
- Resist the temptation to lift the crockpot lid during cooking, as this releases heat and can extend cooking time.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of almond extract to the biscuit mixture or sprinkling some chopped nuts on top before serving.
- Let the cobbler rest for 10-15 minutes after cooking to allow it to set and make serving easier.
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for the ultimate dessert experience.
