Ingredients
Cherry Filling
- 2 (21-ounce) cans cherry pie filling
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Cake Topping
- 1 (15.25-ounce) box yellow cake mix
- 10 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 24 pieces
For the Baking Dish
- Cooking spray, as needed
Instructions
- Prepare the oven and dish.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly coat a 9-by-13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray.
- Season the cherries.
Add the cherry pie filling to the prepared dish. Sprinkle with cinnamon and vanilla, stir to combine, then spread the filling into an even layer.
- Add the cake mix.
Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the cherry filling, covering it from edge to edge.
- Top with butter.
Arrange the butter pieces evenly across the surface of the cake mix so the topping can brown as it bakes.
- Bake the cobbler.
Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling around the edges.
- Cool and serve.
Let the cobbler cool for 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm, with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream if desired.
Notes
- Space the butter pieces evenly over the cake mix to help the topping brown consistently.
- Let the cobbler rest for 10 minutes after baking; the hot cherry filling will thicken slightly as it cools.
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
- Nutrition values are estimates and will vary by brand of pie filling and cake mix.
