Very good and simple, but I'm giving it 4 stars because as written it would have been under a puddle of butter. 1/4 c. was plenty, and I added cinnamon to the batter. I have tried it with blueberry pie filling and cherry and they were both very good. Cut the sugar back to 3/4 c. and you will never miss it. I also baked in a round casserole dish instead of the 13x9" pan which would have been *very* thin.

I made quite a few changes to this, following some of the others recommendations, and it still needed more work than what I did. It was a good starting point I guess, but if prepared as specified, I think I would have been VERY unhappy with the results. first, I halved the butter called for, and found it to still be too much. I cut back on the sugar and it was still a little too sweet (and I used fresh cherries so no added sugar there). Putting it in a 9x9 was absolutely necessary; it would have been pancake thin in a 9x13. I added a healthy dash of cinnamon and allspice to the batter and it was very nice; I think if I hadn't done this it would have been pretty bland. So... this recipe can be a success only if you follow everyone else's advice about it. as is, no way.

I love this recipe. It is so easy and simple. The recipe is still delicous with the butter reduced, as others have recommended in their reviews. I have made it multiple times. It is also tastes great cold.

This was the easiest cobbler I ever made. I did use a round dish to bake it in and it turned out very pretty. Will make again.

I read everyone else's reviews and I took a little from each one. I used 2 tablespoons of butter, which (to me) was enough because the butter didn't gather in the middle. I also used 2 cups of cherries, but I think it could of used just a little more, maybe a half of a cup more. I didn't add more because I didn't have it at the time. Before I put it in the oven I sprinkled a little bit of cinnamon and a little bit of sugar on top, which made it taste great. I also put it in an 8X8 pan. If I decide to double it, it will go in a 13X9 pan. Overall, my husband and I enjoyed it. Very easy and quick to make.

I recently made this for a large gathering and while I didn't have any, it earned rave reviews from everyone there. Drawing from other reviews, I used 1/4 C of butter, and made it in an 8x8 pan. I made four, two with a can and a half of drained pie blackberries in each and two with a can and a half of drained pie cherries in each. I also sprinkled sugar on top while baking. Thanks for such an easy recipe!

Very good, very simple. My husband loves it. I added about 1/4 tsp of vanilla and a few dashes of cinnamon to the batter to jazz it up a bit. Definitely serve this with with ice cream!

HOLY MELTED BUTTER BATMAN! I give this recipe five stars, but only if the following amendments are made. First, use a 4 or 6 quart round baking dish, not a 9x13 pan. Next, cut the amount of butter down to 1/4 of a cup or less. Using 1/4 of a cup of butter you will still get pools of melted butter on the top of the cobbler when you are done. No worries though! Simply spoon the butter onto the biscuits that have formed around the edges of the pan. Make these changes and I think you will like this recipe.

This recipe was great. So simple for a quick dessert. However, I did make a big change, instead of a 13x9 pan I used an 8 in square pan and as others did , I reduced the butter by 2 tablespoons (not cause I wanted to , but it was all the butter I had)I baked for 50 min and it came out beautiful. there was a bit of butter pooled in the center but I just spread it over the browned biscuit portion and none of it was a bit greasy. I will use it again and again for cobblers. I might even try doubling it for a 13x9 pan as I have a very large family . Hope this is helpful.

Very easy and Very good. I only used about 1/4 C of butter...maybe a little more (hard to tell, Switzerland doesn't have measurements on their butter wrappers so I just lopped off a chunk). I made it for the first time for company and used Blueberry Pie filling and served with a few small scoops of vanilla ice cream. I know Blueberry Pie filling is less sweet than others and I also think the vanilla ice cream helped tone down the sweetness and the buttery taste of the cobbler. Will definitely make it again. Glad I tried it. Even my husband, who doesn't care for "fruit" desserts, said it was very good! Thank you for the recipe!

Not a cobbler at all! More like cherry cookie bars. I used 3 cups frozen drained cherries and reduced the butter to 1/4 cup. All I had was a 10x14 pan, and it turned out about 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch thick, but I don't think that even if the pan had been smaller it would have had any chance of being a cobbler as I know it (but I'm from the south and maybe this is a yankee cobbler?). However, even though it's ugly (I wouldn't serve it to company due to lack of presentation qualities) and not a cobbler, it does taste good and was VERY simple and easy to make (great for kids and easy to please men). Also, it only took 30 minutes to bake, not the recommended 50-60 minutes, as it is, I burnt the edges a little (but it's still good, easy to please man says the burnt edges are GOOD, he likes the crunch). I may make it again just because it's so easy.

HOLY BUTTER! I even cut two tablespoons out of the recipe, and it was overflowing with butter. After letting it cool, the butter soaked into the crust more, however it was still pretty greasy. The taste was ok--would have been better if the amount of butter was cut in half, or even less.

I used drained, frozen cherries and added 1 tsp. vanilla to add flavour. For even more flavour I sprinkled the top with cinnamon before baking. I served it with vanilla ice cream and everyone thought it was delicious. It was an extremely fast and easy way to provide a homemade dessert for supper.

This the fastest, easiest dessert! I couldn't believe a cobbler could be so easy and still taste Fantastic. My only suggestion is to reduce the butter by about 1 or 2 tablespoons. There was just a bit too much butter for me. I will be making this for a long time, Thanks!!
