- Ready In:

- Ingredients:
- 10
- Serves:
-
6
ingredients
- 1 (21 ounce) can cherry pie filling
- 1 cup flour
- 1⁄4 cup sugar, I use brown sugar but any sugar should be fine
- 1⁄4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1⁄2 cup milk, low-fat is fine
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1⁄2 teaspoon almond extract
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 1 -2 teaspoon cherry flavored liqueur (optional)
- 1 cup slivered almonds, toasted (optional)
directions
- Lightly grease the inside of a 31/2-quart(31/2 litre) crock pot, or spray it with cooking spray.
- Place the pie filling into the crock pot.
- Beat the remaining ingredients until the consistency of the batter is smooth.
- If adding liqueur and/or slivered almonds, add these to the batter now. If the batter is a little too moist after adding the liqueur, adjust the consistency with an extra sprinkling of flour.
- Spread the batter over the pie filling.
- Cover and cook on high for 11/2 to 2 hours, or until a skewer pierced into the centre of the cobbler comes out clean.
- Serve with cream, custard or ice cream.

I prefer not to give rating cause I don't understand why I didn't like the topping. I love cherry cobbler made with cherry pie filling. So this part is fine for me. There is something in the topping I didn't like. Don't know what. I didn't add cherry flavored liqueur. Maybe I would have like it without the almond extract even though I like the taste of it. The batter was very thick so I added milk. I let it cook near 3 hours like Annisette suggested and it didn't turn out the same color as her photo. Thanks Bluemoon for posting. Made for Holiday tag.

This was a hit at dinner tonight. A wonderful and simple dessert to put together ahead of time. I assembled it ahead of time, and just before guests arrived I pressed start. Served it with vanilla ice cream on the fine china! Will take a photo next time! It was beautiful and not a crumb left on anyone's plate! Thanks, BlueMoonDownUnder! Made for Zaar Stars.

This was my first attempt at making something cake-like in a crock pot. I'm living in China, without an oven, so I think recipes like this will be useful. I wasn't sure how it would turn out, simply because, well, it's a crock pot. I don't have pie filling, so I used apples, with a little sugar and cinnamon. I used olive oil instead of melted butter, since butter is really expensive here. I cooked it on high for 1 1/2 hrs. The resulting flavor was very light, and the cobbler was like cake, and the house smelled just like autumn in the States. Thanks!

July 2008 update: VERY happy to be back on Zaar after about a two year absence due to having had no internet connection at home, and having been too unwell for a time so that getting re-connected wasn't even a priority!
<br>
<br>And really looking forward to getting back into the Zaar world and connecting again with the many wonderful people I knew before, and new people, of course!
