TIPS FOR MAKING CHERRY COBBLER:

  • This cherry cobbler recipe is ridiculously easy to make. Feel free to change up the pie filling for any one you enjoy: apple pie filling, peach pie filling and blueberry pie filling are all delicious with this recipe.
  • If you don’t have an oven-safe skillet, just use a 9×9-inch square baking dish.
  • Can’t find Jiffy Cake Mix? Just go with a regular yellow cake mix – however, you will only use half of that cake mix for this recipe as the Jiffy cake mixes are only 9 ounces and a normal box of cake mix is 15.25 ounces.
  • You can use lower sugar options for the pie filling. I don’t think Jiffy makes a low or zero sugar cake mix so you’d have to go with another brand.

INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (FULL RECIPE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE POST)

  • cherry pie filling – as I stated above, you can go with any flavor pie filling you like. You can also go with low sugar options too.
  • almond extract (optional) – I think almond extract goes really well with cherry pie filling but if you can’t find it or you don’t like that flavor then just leave it out.
  • butter – I almost always go with salted butter here but if you only have unsalted then just use that.
  • Jiffy Golden Yellow Cake Mix – this is probably the cheapest cake mix you’ll find. It’s usually on the very bottom shelf at your grocery store.
  • cinnamon (optional) – I like the flavor the ground cinnamon adds but if it’s not your thing, then just leave it out.

HOW TO MAKE THIS JIFFY CHERRY COBBLER:

Preheat the oven to 350° F. Spray a 10-inch skillet with nonstick cooking spray. Pour the cans of pie filling into the bottom of the skillet. Stir in the almond extract, if using. In a medium bowl, stir together the cake mix, melted butter, and cinnamon. Drop the batter by dollops on top of the filling. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until the batter is set. Serve warm.

  1. I wonder if fresh (or frozen) cherries could be used in this recipe. I have some sour cherries (the kind I am told are are use in pies) and wonder if they would work for something like this

  2. 5 stars
    I would love to make this recipe but i don’t think we have small boxes of cake mix in Australia, the only thing i can think of is to use A box mix with the amount that is stated in the recipe & then make cupcakes with what is left over. I would make it using pie apples as i again don’t think we have cherry pie tins here either. I wish we had all the wonderful goodies that are found in the US. Never mind we Aussies know how to adapt. Thank you for a lovely recipe.

    I love this recipe! It’s versatile, too! Spice cake with peaches! I’m making the cherry one 1st and will use the frozen cranberry hint! I had to buy a cast iron skillet! I can’t wait! Thank you for the recipe!

    Well I just love all three if Y’all!!!! I enjoy saving all the recipes. Your blogs bring such pleasure each day I don’t know what is wrong with people!! If they are southern they will enjoy them too. If they are not then……who cares!!!!
    My Momma taught me that being a southern lady has some rules and one of them is … if you don’t have anything nice to say about someone, then keep your mouth shut!! Folks that is just plain good manners.

    Try adding a cup or so of fresh or frozen whole cranberries. You won’t be able to taste the cranberries but they will make taste like it was made with fresh sour cherries. A cousin taught me this trick with cherry pie a while ago and I couldn’t believe how much it tastes like fresh cherries.

    I died laughing watching your video with the other bloogers. You all are hilarious! I just want to add my two cents with people I hate the most who post. I changed every single thing in your recipe and it tasted like sh*t. So I am giving it zero stars.

      Hi Linda! Ha! Glad we could make you laugh! And yes about the changing of the ingredients. I never mind an honest review but I don’t think we can give honest reviews if the recipe and directions weren’t followed exactly. Right?

    That is the beauty of the recipe you can use it as a basic and play with it. Other fruit yup…and I love using spice cake with apple filling, This is why I LIKE the Country Cook real recipes real cooks can use. Don’t know about other people but I am sooo tired of recipes for truffles and lobster sauce 😉
