Dutch Oven Cherry Cobbler


What's a more iconic dish to cook in a Dutch oven than a cobbler? I've cooked many a cobbler and let's just say when Shannon came up with this recipe I wasn't excited about another cobbler. But the cherry and almond together make a great combination. It's also a really easy dump cobbler that is great for beginners or to please a crowd.

The batter recipe can be used for any cobbler and fruit combination. So get creative and get in the kitchen!

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 2 cups sugar

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 4 teaspoons baking powder

  • 2 cups milk

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

  • 1 teaspoon almond extract

    (optional- great with cherry)

  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

    (optional - great with peaches)

  • 1 stick butter, melted

  • 2 cups fruit

    or more to taste, we like to add about 1/3 - 1/2 cup of juice to for more taste

Instructions

  1. Mix together the flour, sugar, salt baking powder, milk and vanilla together.
  2. Pour the butter in a greased 12-inch deep Dutch oven or a 11x13-inch casserole dish.
  3. Pour the batter in the Dutch oven. Evenly top with the fruit and juice.
  4. If baking in the house- bake at 350 degrees for about 40 minutes or until it’s about ¾ baked through like a cake, but still has a soft center.

Notes

  • If you like more of a gooey cobbler add more juice and don't cook the cobbler as long.
