LETS ANSWER A FEW QUESTIONS THAT YOU PROBABLY HAVE...
WHAT IS CHERRY COBBLER?
A Cherry cobblers is a fruit dessert made with either fresh, canned or frozen cherries and topped with a biscuit pastry topping. As the cobbler cooks, the fruit bubbles up into the pastry giving it a typical appearance and making those delicious little bubbles of wonderfulness.

TIPS AND TRICKS FOR EASY CHERRY COBBLER
- If you are concerned that the cake mix will be too much then you can always use less. I always use the whole thing but my husband never puts the whole bag in and so, just go with what you feel is right. Just know that a portion of the powdery cake mix will melt down into the cherry pie filling some and a bit will become crusty with the melted butter.
- As for the butter pieces on the top therefore here is the thing while I always cut the butter and put it on in the most haphazard manner possible. My sweet hubby, the engineer, always places the pats of butter as if they were soldiers lined up across the powdery cake mix tundra and the results are the same. I don’t think it matters a bit.
- If you forget to spray your 9x13 pan then don't sweat it because it just means you will have to scrape the sides of your dish a little bit to get all of the cherry stuff out.
- I use the cherries that I can in the spring. You can find out about that HERE in my post called "How to Can Cherry Pie Filling". I think they are much more tasty than the store bought version however, but that is just me. It takes 4 ½ pint jars of home canned cherries for that. If you take a look at the ingredients of store bought cherry pie filling then you might decide to start canning your own too if you use a lot of cherry pie filling during the year . We do at our house (because Cherries = Love, remember).
- If you want to make a half sized version of this, you can then just use a small baking dish such as a 2 quart size and half the ingredients.

THE RECIPE FOR EASY CHERRY COBBLER
Easy Homemade Cherry Cobbler Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 Cans of Cherry Pie Filling
- 1 Cup of Pecan pieces
- 1 box of yellow cake mix
- 1 stick of butter
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350. Spray the bottom and sides of a 9x13 baking dish with non-stick spray. Pour the 2 cans of cherry pie filling into the baking dish and spread out to cover. Sprinkle the pecan pieces over the top.
- Sprinkle the yellow cake mix over the top of that. Cut the butter into slices and place around the top of the cake mix. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes or until the filling is bubbling up through the top. Some of the cake mix may still look powdery and that is ok.
Notes
- If you are concerned that the cake mix will be too much then you can always use less. I always use the whole thing but my husband never puts the whole bag in and so, just go with what you feel is right. Just know that a portion of the powdery cake mix will melt down into the cherry pie filling some and a bit will become crusty with the melted butter.
- You can always add more pecans if you really like more OR leave them out entirely if you don't want them in your cobbler.
- As for the butter pieces on the top therefore here is the thing while I always cut the butter and put it on in the most haphazard manner possible. My sweet hubby, the engineer, always places the pats of butter as if they were soldiers lined up across the powdery cake mix tundra and the results are the same. I don’t think it matters a bit.
- If you forget to spray your 9x13 pan then don't sweat it because it just means you will have to scrape the sides of your dish a little bit to get all of the cherry stuff out.
- If you want to make a half sized version of this, you can then just use a small baking dish such as a 2 quart size and half the ingredients.

Thank goodness that is true because I need all of the help with strength that I can get. Hallelujah that Jesus is on my side.
Donna says
Not a fan of the yellow cake dump cakes and I was planning on making some cobbler for Turkey Day in a couple of weeks so I just read the first review by Joe and he said that chocolate cake mix worked well so I will do that plus add some mini chocolate chips instead of the nuts since hubb can't have them and that will be one of the many desserts that I have on our dessert table. Thanks for the recipe!
Wendi Spraker says
Hi Donna, Glad you have this one in your plan. Sounds lovely.
Joe says
Made this on a whim because we had some fresh cherries to use up. Didn’t have any pecans, but we did have sliced almonds. Wait.....no yellow cake mix......chocolate is all we had. Oh my goodness, we served this to some new friends and it was the highlight of the entire meal. Thank you for your sharing with us!
Wendi Spraker says
Wonderful!!!
Jackie O says
Can I use canned cherries instead of pie filling? Thank you!
Wendi Spraker says
Hi Jackie,
Canned Cherries by themselves will not work for this recipe. You really need to actual cherry pie filling. Pie filling has a thickened sauce and is ready to be made into a pie. Hope this helps! Wendi
Diego Lopes says
Well, so easy!! I love this recipe already, can't wait to see what my family will say about it.
Wendi Spraker says
Great! Come back and let me know how it went!
Teresa Steward says
I would like to serve at my daughters wedding. Can I make ahead and freeze? What's the best way to do this and serve in wedding day?
Wendi Spraker says
Hi Teresa! You know what’s funny? I served this at MY wedding exactly 7 years ago tomorrow! I am not sure about freezing it. It doesn’t take but a few minutes to throw together and I would recommend putting it together the day before and putting in the fridge then bake the morning of the wedding. It’s fine to serve room temp.
Teresa Steward says
How many ppl did you serve at your wedding? What size pan did you use for it?
Excited!
Wendi Spraker says
We planned for 75 or so but I think it ended up being about 60. We used those aluminum foil catering pans that are about 9x12 but deeper (about 3-4 inches or so) and we made 4 of them. We had LOTS of leftovers if I remember right.
Teresa Steward says
Awesome. Ok, so how many times did you double the recipe for ONE 9x13?
Wendi Spraker says
I multiplied it by 4. So..... 8 cans of filling 4 boxes of cake mix etc. /)
Julie says
Can I make this with fresh cherries
Wendi Spraker says
Hi Julie! I'm so glad to have you along! I have never made this with fresh cherry, my gut feeling is that you would need to cook the cherry some to soften them after removing the pit
Monica says
Made peach and cherry cobbler..they were delicious.
Wendi Spraker says
Wow thanks Monica! So glad you gave them both a try!
Brenda Woods says
I will definitely try this recipe. I made an easy peach cobbler the other day and it was great. But I wanted to find one for cherry and this looks great. Thanks!
Wendi Spraker says
Hi Brenda! I hope you love it! 🙂
Moxie says
I tried this and it is just the best!
Bernie|A Gouda Life says
Hi Wendi - cherries=love to me too! I had an elderly neighbor when I was a child who had a cherry tree in her yard. She liked to make me mini cherry pies. In return I made her mud pies. I hope they brought her as much joy as her pies brought me!

Hi Wendi - cherries = love to me too. I had an elderly neighbor when I was a child with a cherry tree in her yard. She loved making me my own mini cherry pies. In return, I made her mud pies. I hope they brought her as much joy as her pies brought me. 🙂
Wendi Spraker says
I am positive they did!! I had a neighbor with a Cherie tree too. He yelled at me if he saw me sitting in it eating his cherries! lol
Mary says
This looks so easy and good. Love the photos and the inspiration story. Laughed when I read how your husband lines up the butter pats. I would probably do the same thing......soldiers lined up on powdery cake tundra.......love it! Pinned. Will definitely be making this soon. Thanks for sharing.
Wendi Spraker says
Hi Mary! Thanks for visiting! I'm glad you got a laugh! It is true - there never were two more different people than my hubby and me! lol. I did try to line up the butter pats a little for this picture, but you can actually put them on there any way your little heart desires! Let me know how it turns out! Thanks for visiting and come back soon!
Ridhima says
