I love cherries! Have I said that before? I probably have, many times in fact. Well since I’ve been making salads almost every day this week, I decided it was time for some dessert, so what better way to celebrate, then with a gorgeous cherry cobbler. Not that there’s any special reason to celebrate, but we don’t need a special occasion to enjoy a beautiful cherry cobbler, do we?
Since it’s just my husband and I, I didn’t want to make a huge cherry cobbler and ok I’ll admit the truth, I really wanted to use my gorgeous ramekins. Aren’t they adorable, and one of those makes the perfect cobbler size for a person. This cherry cobbler was so good it’s making my favorites list, and it was very easy to make as well.
Start by preheating your oven to 400 F degrees. You’ll need about 2 cups of cherries pitted. Recently I discovered a great OXO Good Grips Cherry Pitter
Add 2 tablespoons of sugar, dash of salt and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to the cherries and mix well.
Set aside the cherries and get a medium size bowl and add the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, milk and butter. Using a fork mix everything together.
This is why I love this cherry cobbler, so simple to put together. Now normally you’d have to butter the ramekins, but I forgot to do that, however, nothing stuck so that was great, less calories for me. Anyway, add half the cherries to each “buttered” ramekin.
Oh this makes me so happy, they are so beautiful. Now add the crumble on top of each ramekin.
And that’s that! All you have to do now is bake it for about 30 minutes, or until nice and golden. I lied, there’s one more thing left to do and that is to enjoy this delicious cherry cobbler with your significant other. It will make you very happy, both of you!
Trust me, very happy!

I just made this. I doubled everything as I had a lot of cherries. But I came out absolutely amazing! I did add brown sugar to both the cherries and crumb topping
Hi Nicki,
That’s great! You just reminded me I didn’t have any cherries this summer, and now the summer is almost over. I have to find some.
Thanks for the share!

Those look great! All my cobbler recipes make so many servings it’s crazy. I love that this is for two! I’m going to try this soon!
Thank you Heidi. Let me know how it turned out.
