Cherry Cobbler Recipe with Almond Glaze

Cherry Cobbler with Almond Glaze is a really tasty dessert. I made it for John’s office a couple of weeks ago, and everyone loved it! There wasn’t any left!

I got this recipe from a friend, but I added the almond glaze on top. The recipe is like a layered casserole. First, you melt some butter. Then, you spoon a flour batter over the butter but don’t mix it. After that, you spoon a cherry layer on top of the batter, but don’t mix that either. It all mixes together while baking. After it's done, I added a yummy almond glaze on top.

Cherry Cobblers are popular in Texas, along with Peach Cobblers. I got a big box of fresh cherries from Washington state in 2019. They were the best cherries I ever had! I made ten desserts with them in just six days. This Cherry Cobbler was one of the last ones I made, and it turned out great!

Ingredients:

For Cherry Cobbler:

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter (one stick)
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• Pinch of salt
• 1 cup half-and-half or whole milk
• 4 to 5 cups fresh cherries, pitted and halved
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon almond extract

For Almond Glaze:

• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon almond extract
• 1 tablespoon half-and-half

Instructions:

For Cherry Cobbler:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

Melt butter in a 9x13” glass baking dish.

In a mixing bowl, combine flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Add milk or half-and-half, and stir until dry ingredients are moist.

Pour batter over melted butter in the baking dish (don’t stir).

In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, bring 1 cup granulated sugar, cherries, and

lemon juice to a boil, stirring constantly.

Remove from heat and stir in almond extract.

Pour cherry mixture over the batter in the baking dish (don’t stir).

Bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 40-45 minutes, until the top is brown.

Let the cobbler cool completely before adding the glaze.

For Almond Glaze:

Combine powdered sugar, almond extract, and half-and-half in a small mixing bowl, whisk until smooth.

Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cobbler.

Notes:

• If you use a thinner milk for the half-and-half in the glaze, you may need to decrease the amount, or the glaze will be too runny.
• Canned cherries can be used instead of fresh ones. Just rinse, drain, and pat them dry with paper towels before using.
