This Cast Iron Skillet Cherry Cobbler is a quick, easy, and delicious dessert featuring sweet cherry pie filling, buttery biscuits, and a creamy drizzle. Baked to golden perfection in a cast iron skillet, this crowd-pleasing dessert is perfect for weeknights or special occasions!


Ingredients

For the Cobbler:

  • 1 large can cherry pie filling
  • 1 can flaky biscuits
  • ½ stick (¼ cup) butter, melted

For the Cream Cheese Drizzle:

  • 8 oz. cream cheese, softened
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:

  • Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. Prepare the Skillet:

  • Grease a cast iron skillet with cooking spray or butter.

3. Assemble the Cobbler:

  • Pour cherry pie filling into the skillet and spread evenly.
  • Dip each biscuit in melted butter and place them over the cherry filling.

4. Bake the Cobbler:

  • Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until biscuits are golden brown and fully cooked.

5. Make the Cream Cheese Drizzle:

  • Using a hand mixer, blend cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • If needed, add 1-2 teaspoons of water to achieve a drizzling consistency.

6. Serve & Enjoy:

  • Drizzle the cream cheese mixture over the warm cobbler.
  • Serve immediately with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

Fruit Variations: Swap cherry pie filling for peach, blueberry, or apple.
Topping Alternative: Use cake mix & melted butter instead of biscuits for a crumble-style cobbler.
Flavor Boost: Add 1 teaspoon almond extract to the cherry filling for extra richness.
