Steps to prepare Layered Cherry Cobbler:
Preheat the Oven

- First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This is important to make sure the cobbler bakes evenly and turns beautifully golden.
Prepare the Cherry Layer
2. Pour the cherry pie filling into a greased baking dish. Don’t be shy; spread it out evenly to ensure every bite has that sweet cherry goodness!
Make the Batter
3. In a big mixing bowl, combine 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Whisk them together until they’re well blended.
- Now, add 1 cup milk, 1/2 cup melted butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix well until you achieve a smooth batter. It’s okay if there are a few lumps; it’ll all come together beautifully in the oven.
Combine the Layers
5. Carefully pour the batter over the cherry filling in the baking dish. You want the batter to cover the cherries but don’t worry about being perfect; it will bake up nicely.
Bake to Perfection
6. Bake in your preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until it’s golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. The smell wafting through your home will be heavenly!
Let it Cool
7. Once it’s done baking, let it cool slightly before serving. This will help the cobbler set a bit more, making it easier to slice!
