Cherry-Cream-Cheese Cobbler

Directions

This recipe calls for red pie cherries enhanced with a little kirsch and topped with a shortcake biscuit featuring cream cheese and chopped pecans.

Preheat oven to 425℉ (220℃).

Grease an 8-inch square baking pan or dish.

In a large mixing bowl, carefully spoon together cherries, juice, brown sugar, tapioca and kirsch.

Pour cherry filling into greased baking pan or dish; drizzle melted butter or margarine on top and set aside.

In another large bowl, combine crust ingredients.

Stir vigorously with a wooden spoon about 30 seconds until a stiff dough forms.

Spoon cream-cheese dough on top of cherry-kirsch filling to create a cobblestone effect.

Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until crust is golden brown.

Cool 30 minutes; then serve with kirsch-flavored whipped cream.
