If you’re looking for a slightly more out of the box dessert for Thanksgiving or Christmas, look no further! This Skinny Cranberry Cherry Cobbler is a mix of my favorite cobbler recipe and my 5 Ingredient Skinny Cranberry Cherry Pie.
Even for being made with cherries and fresh cranberries, this cobbler is surprisingly simple and easy to put together. While it may have a few more ingredients than the pie, you don’t have to fuss with the crust! Just as with most cobblers, this one is made with the batter on the bottom of the dish and a hot fruit filling spread over the top.
During the baking, the batter bubbles up to the top to make the top layer of the cobbler. Leaving you with all that cranberry and cherry goo on the bottom. Magic! The mixture of cranberry and cherry is one of my favorites. It’s a little sweet and a little sassy. Sort of like me.
The tartness of the cranberries works well with the sweetness of the cherries. So it’s not overpoweringly sweet OR tart. The best of both worlds.
To make this cobbler a little more better-for-you, I used a whole wheat white flour. I also used frozen cherries and FRESH cranberries. Nothing from a can this time around. Other than that, this cobbler is pretty standard with its swaps. Less sugar. Less guilt. All the flavor!
Top this warm cobbler with some vanilla ice cream or whipped cream and you’ll he in heaven. Though, to be honest… I didn’t put either on mine, and I was still there.
