Directions

1 Heat oven to 375ºF. Mix 2 tablespoons brown sugar and the cornstarch in 2-quart saucepan. Stir in cherries. Cook over medium heat 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened. Stir in almond extract and food color. Pour into ungreased 1-quart casserole.
2 Mix flour, cocoa, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, the baking powder and salt in medium bowl. Cut in butter, using pastry blender or crisscrossing 2 knives, until mixture looks like fine crumbs. Stir in milk and vanilla until mixture forms a soft dough. Drop dough by 6 spoonfuls onto hot cherry mixture.
3 Bake uncovered 20 to 25 minutes or until topping is no longer doughy. Serve warm.

EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Consider serving this tempting dessert with a dollop of fat-free whipped topping along with a sprinkling of baking cocoa--and maybe even a fresh or maraschino cherry or two.

Why should you avoid using a reduced-fat spread or tub product versus butter or margarine? Basically, when the fat is removed, it’s replaced with water, and that can affect the texture and quality of the cobbler. It’s only 2 tablespoons—go for the gusto and enjoy!

I doubled the Bisquick topping. It was soooo good. I got one serving the night I baked it. When I got home the next day it was completely gone. My teenagers undoubtably loved it too. Thanks

We did not like this recipe unfortunately. It was a real shame too because my 11 year old son and I had fun making it together. We made in the morning and stored it undera cake dome until dessrt time in the evening. That may have been where we went wrong because the recipe called to serve it warm and I now believe it meant to serve it warm, fresh from the oven. We warmed it up in the mircrowave and the filling was all coagulated. It looked wonderful when it came out of the oven so perhaps the key is to serve it fresh.
