One day, I wanted to use up a leftover can of cherry pie filling that I had in the refrigerator. I added some diced rhubarb, then used a cobbler topping I liked. It turned into a favorite—fast! After many years of farming, my husband and I are now enjoying a new life in our new house, built on a lake.

Ingredients

  • FILLING:
  • 1 can (21 ounces) cherry pie filling

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
