Whole Wheat Fresh Cherry Cobbler

August 5, 2018 Amanda Plott

It's the end of summer (break) and cherries are still in season over here. And since I haven't really done anything with them yet this season, I thought it was high time to do so! To create this lovely cobbler, I started with the base of the one that I made about a month ago. I have used the same recipe a few times now, trying out different fruits.

Up until today, the blackberry seemed to be the favorite.

The only real difference between this version of the cobbler recipe, and the one from before, is that this one I decided to use the cherries and also subbed in some whole wheat white flour instead of the all-purpose.

When it comes to almost anything, fresh is always best. So that's why I decided to go with fresh cherries. The hardest thing about using them, is pitting them. Okay, okay... it's not hard to do, but it is time consuming. I prefer to use the straw method - where you poke a straw through the center of the cherry to pop the pit out. It's easy enough to do, but I'd say it took me about 10 minutes to get through the 4 cups of cherries.

If you don't want to spend the time pitting, you could probably get away with using some thawed frozen pitted cherries, if you can manage to find them. Trust me though, you'll want to use the fresh cherries if you have the time and the option to do so!

Yummm. The idea for this cherry cobbler actually came about when I was visiting my grandfather in Arkansas. I had made him and his friend a blackberry cobbler one night when we were there and while everyone was raving about it, a few suggestions popped up about different fruit options and cherry was the one that stood out the most to everyone!

So, ta-da! See? Dreams really do come true.

Yum
