Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 Can flaky biscuits (typically 8 biscuits)
- 1 Can cherry pie filling (about 21 oz)
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted
Glaze Ingredients
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 teaspoon water (optional, to thin glaze)
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) to prepare for baking the cobbler.
- Prepare skillet: Grease a 10-inch cast iron skillet well with a non-stick spray like Pam to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Add cherry filling: Pour the entire can of cherry pie filling evenly into the bottom of the greased cast iron skillet.
- Butter biscuits: Dip each biscuit individually into the melted butter, coating it completely for added flavor and a golden finish during baking.
- Arrange biscuits: Place the buttered biscuits on top of the cherry pie filling in the skillet, spacing them evenly to cover the surface.
- Bake cobbler: Put the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 25-30 minutes or until the biscuits are puffed up and golden brown on top.
- Prepare glaze: While the cobbler bakes, using a hand mixer, combine powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and softened cream cheese in a bowl. Beat until smooth and creamy. Add up to 1 teaspoon of water if needed to reach a drizzling consistency.
- Drizzle and serve: When the cobbler is done, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool slightly. Drizzle the cream cheese glaze generously over the warm cobbler and serve as is or with a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence.
Notes
- You can substitute cherry pie filling with other fruit pie fillings like blueberry or peach for variety.
- Make sure the biscuits are dipped completely in melted butter for a crispier biscuit crust.
- The glaze can be thinned with water a teaspoon at a time to achieve your preferred consistency.
- Serve warm for the best flavor and texture experience.
- This recipe is best made in a cast iron skillet for even heat distribution.
