Ingredients Needed
You only need 5 ingredients to make the best homemade cherry cobbler with a tasty, flaky, biscuit-like topping. This recipe calls for:
- Canned cherry pie filling
- Bisquick – or check out my Easy 3 Ingredient Biscuits or Drop Biscuits recipe for a homemade topping
- Milk – whole milk is best for the flakiest and most tender biscuits
- Butter – unsalted
- Sugar – granulated cane sugar or your preferred sugar replacement
TFN tip: You can use 2% milk, however, I do not recommend that you use skim or non-fat milk. A bit of fat in the milk is essential to achieve just the right rise and perfect flaky biscuit texture.

How to Make the Best Bisquick Cherry Cobbler Recipe
- First, heat the oven to 400º F and grease a large cast-iron skillet or casserole dish.
- Then add the cherry pie filling and bake for 10 minutes.
- Next, whisk together the remaining four ingredients in a small bowl to make the Bisquick biscuit topping. Remove the cherry cobbler from the oven. Drop the biscuit dough on top of the cherry filling, evenly spacing them on top of the casserole.
- The last step is to bake for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven when the biscuits are golden and the cherries are bubbling. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve Bisquick Cherry Cobbler with whipped cream, cool whip, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. For an extra tangy treat, enjoy your cobbler with a cool spoonful of cream cheese on the side.
Frequently Asked Questions
Use Bisquick’s gluten-free baking mix, or make your own mix with your favorite GF flour alternative.
Yes, you can! Substitute the whole milk with almond milk and use your preferred plant-based butter for an easy vegan version.
Nope, leave those cherries frozen for the best results.
I love topping fresh, warm fruit cobbler with a dollop of homemade whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. For an extra tangy treat, enjoy a bowl of cobbler with a cool spoonful of cream cheese on the side.
Let the cobbler cool completely, and then either cover the baking dish with plastic wrap or transfer to a container with a lid. Keep stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 or 5 days. Leftovers are delicious reheated in the microwave for 20-30 seconds.
Yes, it does. Transfer the cooled cobbler to an airtight and freezer-safe container, and keep it in the freezer for up to 3 months. To reheat, bake the frozen cobbler for 30 – 45 minutes in an oven preheated to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Easy Bisquick Cherry Cobbler
Equipment
- 9" cast iron skillet or 2 quart casserole dish
- spoon or cookie scoop
Ingredients
- 2 (21 ounces) cans cherry pie filling (see notes for substitutions)
- 1 ½ cups Bisquick mix (see notes for DIY baking mix recipe)
- ⅓ cup milk, whole or 2%
- 1 ½ tablespoons sugar (can substitute with Splenda baking mix – see notes)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 400º F and grease a large cast-iron skillet or casserole dish. (Preheating the oven is not necessary for this recipe).
- Add the cherry pie filling to the skillet or casserole dish and bake for 10 minutes.
- While the cherry pie filling is baking, stir the last 4 ingredients together in a small bowl to make the Bisquick biscuit topping.
- Remove the cherry cobbler from the oven. Using two spoons or a scoop, drop the biscuit dough on top of the cherry filling, evenly spacing them on top of the casserole.
- Return Bisquick cobbler to the oven and bake for 15 minutes. The cobbler is done when the biscuits are golden and the cherries are bubbling. Let cool slightly before serving.
- Serve with a dollop of homemade whipped cream, cool whip, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. For an extra tangy treat, enjoy a bowl of cobbler with a cool spoonful of cream cheese on the side.
Notes
- Canned cherries: Two 20 ounce cans, add 2 Tbsp cornstarch
- Splenda sugar (baking) mix can be substituted 1:1 for sugar. Do not use regular Splenda, as the fruit cobbler will not thicken properly. Instead, use 1/2 regular Splenda and 1/2 sugar.
