Instructions for the Cherry Mix
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Pit the cherries and then add them to a large skillet pan over low heat. Add in sugar, corn starch and fresh lemon juice. Mix and simmer for 5 minutes. Then add in the vanilla and almond extracts and simmer another 5 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, sugar and whisk. Or use a sifter. Then make a hole in the middle and add the milk, vanilla and melted butter. Mix together with a wooden spoon or your hands.
- Use a little butter to coat the bottom of a deep, oval baking dish. Or you can use cooking spray. Then add the cherry mix and drop the cobbler dough on top.
- Bake for 30 minutes and then sprinkle a little additional sugar on top. Continue to bake for another 10-20 minutes. Total time should be around 50 minutes or when the top of the cobbler dough is starting to turn golden.
- Let cool for 10 minutes and then serve with vanilla bean ice cream!
