How to Make Easy Upside-Down Cherry Cobbler:

Step 1: Prepare the Cherry Base

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat.
3. Stir in sugar and the canned cherries with their juice. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally, and cook for about 5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Remove from heat.

Step 2: Make the Cobbler Batter
4. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon (if using).
5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and vanilla extract.
6. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until smooth.

Step 3: Assemble the Cobbler
7. Pour the cherry mixture into the bottom of a greased 9-inch baking dish.
8. Spoon the cobbler batter over the cherries, spreading it evenly. Do not mix them.

Step 4: Bake
9. Bake the cobbler in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
10. Let the cobbler cool for a few minutes, then run a knife around the edges to loosen.
11. Invert the baking dish onto a plate and serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Serving Suggestions:

• Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
• Enjoy with a cup of coffee or tea for a perfect dessert after dinner.

Tips for the Best Upside-Down Cherry Cobbler:

• Use Fresh Cherries – If fresh cherries are in season, feel free to use them instead of canned.
• Don’t Overmix the Batter – Stir the batter gently to keep it light and fluffy.
• Make it Your Own – Try adding other fruits like peaches or blueberries for a twist.

Storage Instructions:

• Store Leftovers – Keep any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Reheat – Reheat in the microwave for 20-30 seconds, or in the oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes.
