Equipment
- 10-inch Cast Iron Skillet
- Mixing bowls
- Whisk or Hand Mixer
- Spatula
- Measuring cups and spoons
Ingredients
- 1 can Flaky Biscuits (8-count tube)
- 1 large can Cherry Pie Filling (20–21 oz)
- ½ stick Unsalted Butter, melted
- 8 oz Cream Cheese, softened
- ¼ cup Powdered Sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 tsp Milk or Water (optional, to thin drizzle)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 10-inch cast iron skillet with butter or non-stick spray.
- Pour the entire can of cherry pie filling into the skillet and spread it into an even layer.
- Separate the canned biscuits. Dip each piece into the melted butter, coating both sides.
- Arrange the butter-dipped biscuits over the cherry filling. Leave small gaps between biscuits so the filling can bubble through.
- Bake for 15–20 minutes, until the biscuits are golden brown on top and the cherry filling is bubbling around the edges.
- While baking, beat softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Add milk or water as needed to thin to a drizzling consistency.
- Drizzle the cream cheese frosting over the warm cobbler. Serve straight from the skillet with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
