Juicy fruit filling meets tender yet crisp biscuits in our classic cherry cobbler recipe. We use tapioca starch to thicken our cobbler because it gels at a low temperature. By cooking the fruit at a low temperature, the cherries retain some of their tangy juiciness. A touch of almond extract helps to amplify the natural flavor of the cherries. Note: this recipe can be doubled and split between two pans.
