Tart Cherry Bliss Bake

Tart Cherry Bliss Bake

A delightful and warm tart cherry cobbler topped with a flaky crust, perfect for dessert or a sweet snack.

Ingredients

• 4 cups tart cherries
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons tapioca
• 1 teaspoon almond extract
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• a pinch salt
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 sheet pie pastry
• 1 tablespoon milk

Method

1. Start by heating your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a spacious mixing bowl, combine tart cherries with brown sugar and granulated sugar, mixing gently until the sugars are well blended. Incorporate tapioca, almond extract, cinnamon, and a dash of salt, ensuring thorough mixing. Let this mixture rest for 15 minutes.
3. Pour the cherry concoction into a 9x13 inch baking dish, adding small pieces of butter on top.
4. Roll out the pie crust into a rectangle, making sure it extends slightly beyond the size of the baking dish. Drape the pastry over the cherries, tucking in the edges, and cut several slits in the dough to allow steam to escape. Brush the top with a bit of milk for a glossy finish.
5. Place the cobbler in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 45 minutes, or until the crust is lightly browned and the filling is bubbling. Let it cool for an hour before serving.
