Easy Blackberry Cobbler Recipe
I LOVE COBBLER! There is just something about its rustic appearance, simple ingredients & incredible taste that does it for me.
This is the third cobbler I’ve made this week. (I’ll be hitting the p90X workout hard tomorrow) I’m going through a crazy cobbler crave and I just can’t get enough of them! I know fruit cobblers are typically a summer dessert, but there is just something comforting about cozying up on the couch with a bowl of warm, blackberry cobbler after a savory winter dinner.
They are so simple, easy and quick to whip up. This recipe for blackberry cobbler is one of my favorites because it is fast, pure and has that old-fashioned cobbler taste. It has an awesome golden, buttery tasting crust that has a light crunch to the top and a soft, fluffy underside. I could sit and eat the crust all by itself. The blackberries have the right amount of sweetness and taste great with vanilla ice cream on the side
I’m not sure where this recipe originated from. It’s been in my collection for as long as I can remember. It’s a trusty ol recipe that I’ve never felt the need to tweak. To me, it is a perfect traditional southern cobbler.
My husband will challenge that statement though. Even though he loves this cobbler he prefers his with a double crust and a more pie crust type of crust. If you prefer your cobblers that way as well, then sit tight because I got that baby coming for you!
- 3 cups blackberries, fresh or frozen (I used frozen blackberries, thawed) 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 cup flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla (optional) 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- Preheat Oven to 375
- Add blackberries to a bowl and then add in 3/4 cup sugar. Stir and let sit until juices form (about 10-15 minutes) Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, & sugar.
- Add milk. Give it a stir to combine all ingredients and then add in vanilla, if using.
- Stir in the melted butter
- Grease a 9 x 9 inch square pan with butter.
- Pour batter into the pan.
- Drop the blackberries right on top of the batter. Don’t worry about doing this pretty or trying to get all the dough covered up.
- Bake for 35-45 minutes or until crust is golden. Let cool for at least 10 minutes.
I was looking but I didn't see the recipe for the crust for pie like crust which is what I love as well. Please post soon. I want to try this for the holidays. Thank you for sharing I love everything so far and so does my famiy. I am actually in the kitchen cooking again. I can't tell you enough how much I enjoy everything and don't feel the need to change anything either. Trudy465
Fredmyn that is funny because my husband doesn't like blackberries and he'd much rather have an apple cobbler. I made this and he ate half of the pan and then came home from work with two more bags of frozen blackberries LOL
I am really not even all that crazy gung-ho about blackberries but that looks so freakin' GOOD! I'm trying it soon!
This looks delicious. I'm going to try this tomorrow!!
Yes you can use canned peaches or frozen ones, just thaw them first. I add in sugar (white & brown), cinnamon, ginger, & vanilla to my peaches to give them a lil sassiness.
I've never used apple pie filling for a cobbler but I sure as heck don't see why you couldn't if it's good for pies! Let me know how it turns out.
I was wondering if I could use can peaches or would frozen b better? And how about can apple pie filling?
