Festive Cherry Cobbler Bars is an easy dessert recipe that your family will love.
These Cherry Cobbler Bars were inspired by a few different images of Cherry Bars floating around the web lately. I usually prefer a made-from-scratch approach, but I've had a can of cherry pie filling sitting around in the pantry for some time now and I wanted something I could put together easily, since I had company coming & chores to do. I whipped together a simple impromptu batter, that was sort of halfway between a pound cake and a pancake, spread some at the bottom of a baking dish, topped with the cherry pie filling and dollops of batter (like little dumplings), then popped it in the oven.
The dessert was still a little warm when I served it. My parents called it cherry cobbler, and said a scoop of ice cream would really go good with it especially since it was warm. I'd cut the dessert into bars, so the recipe was promptly dubbed Cherry Cobbler Bars. It is also somewhat similar to a dump cake.
If you have a can of cherry pie filling on hand, whip up a batch of this easy dessert.

Had a can of cherry pie filling sitting in my cupboard. Found this recipe while trying to find a way to use it! I won't lie- I was eating the dough as I rolled it out and it was delicious. And it was so easy and only took me 10 minutes to whip up.
Waiting for it to bake now! Can't wait. Thank you, I know it will be wonderful 🙂
