Cherry Pinwheel Cobbler

Teresa Ambra

It’s cherry time, guys! Cherry Pinwheel Cobbler is the perfect dessert to make for those in your family who enjoy cherries. While this dessert has multiple steps, it is absolutely mouthwatering when finished.

Follow Me On Instagram!

Basically, you wrap almond-flavored cherries in pie crust. You roll up pinwheel fashion. Cut the pinwheel into 12 large biscuits. Pile into a baking dish. Then drizzle a quick and easy homemade syrup over top. After the cobbler bakes about 45 minutes, you sprinkle the top with sugar.

During the baking process the “pinwheels” expand and enlarge absorbing all the syrup. By the time the cobbler has baked 45 minutes the biscuits go from one inch apart to totally touching.

The pinwheels themselves have no sugar. But the dessert is sweetened from the sugar syrup which absorbs into the biscuits while baking. Then sugar is sprinkled over the top just before the end of baking time. Delicious is not an adequate word to express this amazing dessert.

I received twenty pounds of fresh cherries from the Northwest Cherry Growers in Washington state. I was asked to be one of their Canbassadors again this year for cherries and stone fruit. I made ten desserts in all. I made this delectable cobbler last Friday. John took it out to his office on Monday with a Cherry Cake. Both desserts were eliminated pronto!

I was actually loosely following an old friend’s recipe that I’ve had for decades. I rolled out the dough for the pinwheels like pie crust. They are certainly not perfectly formed or beautiful. But this is a recipe that’s hard to mess up in taste because everything more or less cooks together.

If you don’t want to mess with homemade dough, you can easily substitute refrigerated pie crusts from the store. I just happen to enjoy making things from scratch as much as possible.

Give Cherry Pinwheel Cobbler a try the next time you’re in the mood for cherries. Hurry! Cherries won’t be in season too long.

Roll dough between two sets of waxed paper. Every now and then you may have to pick up the dough and scoot more flour underneath. Otherwise the dough may stick to the paper.

I had to keep scooting flour underneath the dough so it wouldn’t stick to the paper. 🙁

  • 1 cherry pitter or sharp knife to pit cherries
  • 1 medium mixing bowl
  • 1 pastry blender
  • 1 bread board or cutting board
  • measuring cups
  • measuring spoons
  • 1 sharp knife to cut dough
  • 1 Rolling Pin
  • 1 spatula

SYRUP:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted (1 stick)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar

COBBLER:

  • 1 1/2 cups UNBLEACHED all-purpose flour (bleached flour toughens baked goods)
  • 1/4 tsp. sea salt
  • 2 1/4 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter cold (1 stick)
  • 3/4 to 1 cup heavy whipping cream or half-and-half (see note below)
  • 2 cups fresh cherries pitted, halved and patted dry
  • 2 tsp. almond extract
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar

Instructions
 

SYRUP:

  • Melt ½ cup butter in 9x13” baking dish; set aside.
  • Heat sugar and water in sauce pan until sugar melts; set aside.

COBBLER:

  • Pit cherries and halve.
  • Dry off with paper towels.
  • Set aside.
  • Mix flour, salt and baking powder and stir to combine.
  • Make cobbler dough by cutting butter into flour mixture with a pastry blender until it looks like fine crumbs.
  • Add cream and stir with a fork until dough leaves side of bowl.
  • Turn out onto floured board; knead 3 or 4 times.
  • Roll out to 11x9” x ¼”-thick rectangle.
  • Spread cherries over dough; drizzle with almond extract.
  • Roll up like a jelly roll.
  • Cut in 1 ¼” thick slices.
  • Carefully place in pan over melted butter.

Notes

NOTE: I rolled the dough out like pie crust.
 
NOTE: If you don’t want all the work of making the dough, you can use pre-made refrigerated pie crusts. I would try to roll and piece two crusts together so they form a more rectangular shape. Then roll slightly so dough adheres before spreading with cherries and drizzling with almond extract.
 
NOTE: You can use canned cherries if you rinse, drain and pat them really dry with paper towels before adding to the recipe.
