How do I know my cobbler is ready?

A probe thermometer inserted in the center of the cobbler should reach 200°F in the thickest part of the topping . The filling should be bubbly around the sides, and the tops of the biscuits should be more deep amber than golden.

What does cobbler look like when its done?

Bake for 30-35 minutes. The peach cobbler is done when the cobbler is golden and the syrup is bubbly and the top springs back lightly when pressed . Serve your homemade peach cobbler warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of homemade whipped cream.

Can you overcook cobbler?

(bakers tip: it's pretty hard to overcook a cobbler , so don't be afraid to leave it in there for longer than 30 minutes - if the top is browning too quickly and the juices still aren't running clear, tent the crisp with foil and continue baking.) Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.

Is cobbler batter supposed to be runny?

Add milk slowly to the dry cobbler mix, you don't want your batter too runny . If the mixture is too thick you can add more milk, but you want the batter the consistency of a thick cake or brownie batter. Since this recipe is going to sit on a pantry shelf, we're using all-purpose flour.

Is cobbler supposed to be doughy?

Improper cooking can also create a doughy, inedible crust, or a crust that is so dry even the saucy interior can't revive it. The crucial step to perfecting this treat is to bake it at the right temperature. Since this dish is topped with a biscuit-like dough, you never want to bake cobbler at a very high temperature.

How do you know when cobbler is done without a thermometer?

It's when the edges are slightly pulling away from the sides of the baking dish, and the top is golden brown . Well, the cooking time from the cobbler recipe is kind of a target. But I like for my cobbler to be nicely browned on top. That's what I'm looking for, and that's when I take it out of the oven.

How long do cobblers usually take?

Bake until the topping is turning golden brown around the edges and the fruit filling is bubbling, 45 to 55 minutes . Cool the cobbler and serve. Let the cobbler cool for at least a few minutes so it doesn't burn your mouth! The cobbler can also be served room temperature or the next day.

Why is my cobbler raw in the middle?

Mistake: Baking at too high of a temperature Cobblers need enough time in the oven for the topping to cook through and brown, but at too high a temperature, anything above 375 ℉, the fruit filling might not be cooked by the time the top is burnt.

How long does it take to heat up a cobbler?

Serve fresh with vanilla ice cream or homemade whipped cream. Enjoy! To store leftover cobbler, place in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to a week. To reheat leftovers in the oven, bake at 400°F for 15-20 minutes .

ingredients

2 cans (21 ounce size) cherry pie filling
1 package (16 ounce size) yellow cake mix, stirred with a fork to break up any clumps of mix
1 can (12 ounce size) 7-up

directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Pour the cherry pie filling in the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Sprinkle the cake mix (dry) evenly over the top of the pie filling.

Slowly pour the 7-up over the cake mix.

Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 45 minutes at 350 degrees F.

Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream.

recipe tips

Do not stir the cake mix and soda together; just pour the soda SLOWLY over the top.

Try sprinkling cinnamon or nutmeg over the cake mix before adding the soda.

Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

For a crisper top, bake for an additional 5-10 minutes.

Let the cobbler cool for a few minutes before serving as it will be very hot.

Try adding a layer of nuts or coconut between the pie filling and cake mix.

If the cobbler is browning too quickly, cover it loosely with aluminum foil.

Try serving with a drizzle of caramel sauce for an extra decadent touch.

Always preheat the oven for the best baking results.

Sprinkle a handful of milk or white chocolate chips over the top during the last 15 minutes of the baking time.

Just tried this a second time. I used most of a 20 oz bottle of 7up and I added chocolate chips. The chips seemed to help moisten all the dry mix by keeping it under the soda. I extended baking time to 75 minutes. And I substituted double chocolate cake mix. Kinda decadent, but WoW! Everybody loved it.

Made this today with 3 groups of residents and it was a huge hit! Everyone loved it. I held my breath because it was necessary to use a gluten free cake mix for one of the groups but it turned out wonderful. Thank you for sharing this recipe!

I found if you gently mix the soda into the cake mix, then spoon it over your pie filling it will come out beautifully. If it does not cook throughly, cover with aluminum foil and bake another 10 minutes

I used 1 can of blueberry pie filling mixed with 1 can of apple pie filling. I used a pastry cutter to break up any clumps in cake mix before sprinkling on top. Then poured the 7 Up over as directed. When done, there was still dry cake mix in places on top. I had to do the taste test before serving to guests. It tasted good but the appearance left a lot to be desired.

This was pretty good, no complaints from the hubs. You can definitely tell the difference between the butter version dump cake and 7-Up. But that made it healthier in my book haha!

I wonder if this would work with lemon pie filling

Aweful,what a waste of ingredients. So upset. No lumps, the 7up didnât mix in with the cake mix. Flat top brown,just under that was raw cake mix.

  Not sure why it wouldn't bake through then. Maybe the type of cake mix? Maybe you needed to cook it longer? This recipe works but there must be some common factor among the few that have had issues with it.

Ugh! So upset! Cooked it for 60 minutes! It looked brown and bubbly and when I went to serve it the cake mix was dry underneath. What did I do wrong?

  Was the cake mix clumpy when you sprinkled it on? That could do it.
Karen REVIEW:
December 29, 2019

This recipe looked so easy....BUT!!! The can of soda did not mix in with the cake mix!!! The soda just rolled over the cake mix. When it came out of the oven, there were white powdery spots of cake mix on the top!!! I tried to brush them off but they were also under the surface!! I would not recommend this recipe!!!
Cherry September 24, 2019

My name is really Cherry . I'm doing something wrong I've tried two and they're still dry cake mix AlI over the top in spots. And the cake just stays on top and cherries on bottom. Some looks like cobbler but most don't what am I doing wrong??

Served it to family. Told them it was all from scratch and they believed me but couldn't believe I actually made something from scratch. Finally told them the "secret" ingredients. They actually were surprised that it wasn't from scratch because it was soo good.

July 9, 2013

This is one of those recipes that makes you wonder how someone came up with it! It's so simple but you end up with a really tasty dessert. I use a low-sugar cherry pie filling and diet 7up. I've also made this with chocolate cake mix and cola for sort of a black forest version.

7-Up Quick Cobbler REVIEW:
June 12, 2011

A great alternative to this recipe is to use fresh or frozen berries. You can also use sugar free cake mix and diet 7-Up, Sprite, or Fresca to make a great diabetic or less calorie version. You absolutely will never know it's diet! This recipe rivals the traditional cobbler! Serve with a scoop of ice cream on top.
barbie November 20, 2010

This cake did not cook through in the 45 min. that the recipe called for. We cooked for 1/2 an hour more.
