This recipe is brilliant! Everyone who tasted the cobbler was amazed. However, I found the amount of sugar used way too little. I usually add at least a cup of sugar to the cherries, otherwise it's just too sour. And I always bake it at least 45 minutes.

Excellent! I used sweet cherries and apple juice instead of cherry juice, but it still turned out scrumptious. The topping in particular was wonderful... flavorful, fluffy, and golden. Thank you for an easy, wonderful recipe!
