Since we toured around Williamsburg, VA and Washington, D.C. over the last few days, I’ve had an insatiable affinity for apple pie and cherry cobbler.

I know, I know, so cliche, right? Well, I can’t help myself!

The apple pie served at Shield’s Tavern in Williamsburg is enough to make anyone fall in love with apple pie, even if they never thought they liked apples! But, I decided that I liked my own cherry cobbler more than the I ordered during this trip. Nothing against the restaurant that I ordered the cherry cobbler, it’s just  I prefer my own cobbler.


Since we walked a bajillion miles a day seeing all of the sites we can pack into the day, I decided we absolutely deserved this delicious cherry cobbler for dessert with our supper. My husband and father-in-law helped me with pitting the cherries. Since the cherry pitter in our motorhome was no where to be found, they got creative in pitting the cherries by hand with straws. That tells you just how much they both were looking forward to this cherry cobbler, doesn’t it?

  1. That is one fabulous-looking cobbler! I always think of summer as cobbler season, with all the amazing fresh fruit all around…I’d been flirting with peach and blueberry, but your cherry version is tempting! Thanks for the recipe. 🙂

  2. Oooh, I love cherry cobbler! So simple and perfect with a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream. I hope you guys had a great trip!

  3. There’s just something comforting and wonderful about a homemade cobbler. You’ve got me craving sweets right now, darn you 🙂

  4. I love cobbler…this looks awesome! What a delicious dessert and with cherries…oh, yes, please…thanks for sharing!

    1. Hi Patricia,
      I’ve not made this recipe with canned cherry pie filling, but this is what I *think* would work. I would change the recipe to just use the butter, self-rising flour, canned cherry pie filling and maybe, just maybe leave in the almond flavoring. Let me know how it turns out!

    2. Hi Melanie,
      You’ll add the almond extract in at the time you add the milk. I hope you enjoy it! xo

  5. made this for dessert tonight. I had the fresh cherries so I looked and found your idea. It was good and simple and perfect with a scoop of vanilla ice crea. Thanks.

    1. I’m so glad you enjoyed it. Oh and that scoop of ice cream just finished it off!

    I made this last night – loved by everyone. I used Oregon canned cherries packed in water, and drain for 30 minutes. So easy. I’m having sangria later and will try replacing the cherries with the leftover sangria fruit (minus orange rind) . Sangria Cobbler!

    i know this was uploaded a hot minute ago but i still wanted to say great recipe and thanks! i used my leftover cherries that were starting to get a lil cranky and threw in an underripe peach to bring up the sour a bit and it was wonderful! doubled the recipe bc my parents and lil bro are ravenous beasts.

  8. I tried this cobbler tonight. Although it tastes delicious, my cherries were not juicy at all. I used Rainier cherries. Could that be the reason?

    1. I haven’t used Rainier cherries in this cobbler, Marjorie, so I’m not sure why your cherries were not juicy. I have not had that problem with this cobbler. Sorry I can’t help.
