WHAT IS A COBBLER?
A cobbler is a type of baked dessert that typically consists of a fruit filling topped with a batter or pastry crust. The fruit filling is often made with ingredients like berries, peaches, apples, or cherries, combined with sugar and sometimes spices.

INGREDIENT NOTES
See the recipe card below for ingredient quantities and complete instructions.
- Blackberries – If you’re not a fan of blackberries, feel free to use any type of berries you have on hand. You can use cherries, blueberries, or even peaches!
- Flour – All-purpose flour is recommended for this recipe.
- Butter – Make sure to use good quality unsalted melted butter.
- Milk – Use whole milk for the best results.
TOP TIPS
- I highly recommend using fresh blackberries, but if using frozen berries, make sure not to thaw them otherwise, they will become mushy.
- Bake for 36-38 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. However, make sure not to overbake it, not even for 1 minute, otherwise, the cobbler will turn out dry.
- I can’t stress this enough, serve the cobbler warm!
- Blackberries are heavy, so don’t worry if they sink to the bottom.
STORAGE
Place any leftovers in an air-tight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave for a few seconds until heated through.
