Dessert is my favorite food group. I am a card carrying member of the eat dessert club. However, I know that I can’t just feed the family dessert so I end up spending most of my time on real food with little time to make my favorite part. So many desserts have tons of ingredients and steps so I only make them rarely if ever. The great thing about this cobbler is that it uses fruit (in season or frozen) and ingredients you have in your pantry. It also comes together really quickly so it is the perfect dessert to make for a week night.
Cherries and peaches are a fruit match made in heaven. Add in a bit of butter and a almond flavored cobbler topping and you bliss. The whole family gave this two big thumbs up so I’m sure it will be requested again soon. Don’t like cherries? Check out my Peach Cobbler recipe.

Notes
Layering the cobbler in the order that the instructions outline doesn't make sense but it totally works. Make sure not to stir. Your cobbler will end up with the fruit on the bottom and the dough on top. Trust me.
