Ingredients
1 can (21 oz) cherry pie filling
1 cup all-purpose flour
½ cup granulated sugar
1 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
½ cup milk
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
½ tsp vanilla extract (optional)
½ tsp cinnamon (optional)
1 tbsp coarse sugar (optional for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Spread the cherry pie filling evenly into the dish.
In a bowl, mix together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Add milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract (if using) and stir until just combined.
Spoon the batter over the cherry filling. Don’t worry about covering every spot—gaps are fine.
Optionally sprinkle cinnamon and coarse sugar on top.
Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and filling is bubbling.
Let cool for 10–15 minutes before serving.
Notes
For extra flavor, add a splash of almond extract to the cherry filling.
Make it vegan: Use plant-based milk and vegan butter.
To store: Cover and refrigerate for up to 4 days.
To freeze: Wrap tightly and freeze up to 2 months. Reheat in oven.
