This 7UP Cherry Cobbler is a delightfully easy and nostalgic dessert combining cherry pie filling, yellow cake mix, and lemon-lime soda to create a moist and fluffy cobbler with a perfectly golden crust. Served warm and optionally topped with vanilla ice cream, this cobbler is ideal for family gatherings or a comforting treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 63 ounces cherry pie filling (three 21-ounce cans)

Cake Layer

  • 15.25 ounces yellow cake mix (your favorite brand, e.g., Best Choice store brand)
  • 2¼ cups 7UP lemon-lime soda (20 ounces, can use generic version)

Finishing Touches

  • 1½ to 2 tablespoons salted butter, melted (optional, for brushing over finished cobbler)
  • Vanilla ice cream (optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Generously spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with baking spray such as Baker’s Joy or a generic non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Add Cherry Pie Filling: Evenly spread two cans (42 ounces) of cherry pie filling at the bottom of the prepared baking dish, creating a generous fruit layer.
  3. Sprinkle Cake Mix: Evenly sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix over the cherry pie filling layer. Make sure the surface is relatively even to ensure proper baking.
  4. Pour 7UP Soda: Slowly pour the 7UP lemon-lime soda over the cake mix. It will become foamy as the soda interacts with the cake mix. Use a spoon to gently smooth the top layer without stirring, just enough to even it out.
  5. Add Remaining Cherry Pie Filling: Spoon 5 to 6 dollops (about the remaining 21 ounces) of cherry pie filling over the top layer. The mixture will look quite wet before baking, which is normal.
  6. Bake the Cobbler: Place the cobbler in the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour to 1 hour and 10 minutes. Start checking around 55 minutes for doneness; bake until the cake layer is golden brown and set. Timing may vary based on your oven.
  7. Add Butter and Cool: Remove the cobbler from the oven. Optionally brush the melted butter over the exposed cake layers using a pastry brush for a richer finish. Allow the cobbler to cool completely; this will help it firm up and enhance flavors.
  8. Serve: Serve the cobbler at room temperature or warm, optionally topped with scoops of vanilla ice cream for a classic, indulgent dessert experience.

Notes

  • The cobbler will appear quite wet before baking due to the soda and pie filling mixture; this is expected and necessary for the moist texture.
  • Checking the cobbler around 55 minutes prevents overbaking, but oven temperatures may vary.
  • Cooling the cobbler completely is important as it firms up the dessert, making it easier to serve.
  • Brushing with melted butter is optional but adds a lovely richness and sheen to the finished dessert.
  • Using a non-stick baking spray helps ensure the cobbler does not stick to the dish, making cleanup easier.
