Ingredients
  

Filling

  • 2 cans cherry pie filling (21 oz each) Provides the sweet, juicy base for your cobbler.

Topping

  • 1 box yellow cake mix (15.25 oz) Adds that comforting cake texture on top.
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter (melted) Brings richness and helps create a deliciously crisp topping.
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract (or vanilla extract) Enhances flavor with warmth.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  • Gather your ingredients on a clean countertop for easy access.

Cooking

  • Pour both cans of cherry pie filling into the baking dish, spreading them evenly.
  • Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix over the cherry filling—don’t stir!
  • Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the cake mix.
  • Add almond extract on top for that extra flavor kick.
  • Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.

Serving

  • Let your cobbler cool slightly before serving.
  • Scoop into bowls and top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a delightful contrast.
  • Enjoy warm with friends and family—you’ll love the smile it brings!

Notes

Pro Tips: Leave some chunks of butter for a denser cake layer; try different fruit fillings for variety; line the baking dish with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
