❤️WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE

We love the combination of pineapple and coconut so this one goes to the top of the list. Plus it’s simple to make so that is always a plus. We make this in a 10 inch iron skillet but you can also use a 9X13 baking dish. This is a great summer cobbler and wonderful with ice cream or whipped topping.

This cobbler is just as good without ice cream. It has a wonderful flavor and the cherries really add to it, but you can leave them off if you are not a fan. This cobbler has a very tropical vibe!
