A few weeks back Brother Bill Gentry guest posted for me on Southern Plate. Everyone has raved so much about his recipe and Bill himself has always told me he’s gotten marriage proposals out of it, so it got the better of me and I just had to make it. I was a little scared, though, because I had heard such amazing reviews. I didn’t want to be alone with too much of it! So I halved the recipe and made an 8×8 pan and seeing as how I was in such a cherry mood, I switched the pie filling from apple to cherry, which is what Bill said I could do. (Isn’t it cute when I pretend to ask permission from ya Bill?)

OHMYGOODNESS, Bill! After one bite of this I wanna marry you, too!! I don’t think I can get Ricky on board with that, though, so we’ll have to settle for me baking it for myself. ~sighs~

I haven’t been this impressed with a dessert since I first tried Butterfinger Cake nearly a decade ago. One thing that really surprised me is how the crescent rolls baked into the perfect crust. Usually when I make things with crescent rolls you can always kinda tell they were crescent rolls, but I would have never known in this. I ate waaaay too much and was grateful that it was only an 8×8 because I could happily eat the entire thing.

You know how you look at something and think “I wonder if that tastes as good as it looks?”.

Well no, it doesn’t. It tastes even BETTER! Especially with a little ala mode happening on the side.

  1. Why do some receipes show a print feature and some do not. I save it but there are times I want to print it if I know I will be making it in the next day or so.

    1. When this feature became available, I already had over 400 recipes posted on SouthernPlate.com and I had to go back into the code and hand code every single post with the commands to operate with the print feature. I’m terribly unorganized and it was an awful lot of work, so I missed a few here and there 🙂 I did get 99% of them so you’ll find it is a rare thing and when nice folks let me know they’ve found another one that slipped through the cracks, I go fix it – this should be printable now. Thank you!

      1. Christie my virus protection will not let me save the recipes anymore. It says caution this is a dangerous page!! Any idea why this is happening?

  2. Christy, this is one of the most fun post I have ever seen. The cobbler looks yummy too. I will try it after I go to the grocery store to get my ingredients. :-))) Yum.

  3. I made two of these for my family (there’s lots of us). The kids liked the one i used the cherry pie filling in, but hte adults liked the one I used the blueberry pie filling. I also made the Butterfinger Cake. Oh MY!!! that was just sinfully good. All disappeared in no time. NOTE: I feel I’m Southern, since I was born in Southern California. My dad was from Alabama and my mom was from Michigan. I guess I’m bi-cultural….Love all the recipes on your Southern Plate

  4. I tried the recipe this weekend and would highly recommend cooking the bottom layer of crescent roll dough FIRST before adding the rest of the ingredients – I cooked my entire pie (without first cooking the bottom) for 45 minutes and the bottom layer was still completely uncooked and doughy. Perhaps cooking the bottom crust for 5-10 minutes first would alleviate that issue? I’m not criticizing – truly – just suggesting a “tweak.” :o)

    1. You’re fine Mindy, you didn’t sound like you were criticizing at all, just being kind in offering a tip 🙂

      I have found too, that a metal pan does better for this one than a glass or pottery, but I may be imagining it! Lol

      Love your idea!
