    Believe it or not, I am not typically a fruit dessert fan. Cobblers, tarts, pies, and more are just not my thing. I’m more of a chocolate fan, so brownies, cakes, and more, haha!

    However, my son is a HUGE fruit fan! For his birthday, he always requests my Banana Pudding Poke Cake or Peach Cobbler Crisp.

    A few weeks ago, I noticed cherries on sale at the grocery store. I tend to buy the jarred kind versus fresh, but since the fresh ones were on sale, I grabbed a bag and brought them home.

    My son found the bag within an hour of them being home, and immediately went to town enjoying them. As he was eating them, he mentioned using them in place of peaches in a cobbler.

    Since I was in the mood for a new dessert, I ran with the idea and began pitting the cherries.

    We chose to make this cobbler in our cast iron skillet because we put ours on the smoker, but you can also put this together in a baking pan and toss into your oven, either way works great!

    The cherry mixture was quite flavorful and fresh tasting, and the streusel topping was the perfect accent to sweeten it up!

    We served ours in bowls with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream and the entire family enjoyed, myself included! Although not chocolate, this was a great change a pace and I definitely plan on making again!

    If you’re a fruit lover, cobbler fan, or looking for a tasty sweet treat….definitely try this Cast Iron Cherry Cobbler! And to use up more cherries, check out these Chocolate Cherry Muffins!
