Recipe tips
- Use fresh blackberries (if you can). They’ll hold their shape much better than frozen berries.
- Allow the cobbler to cool on a wire rack for about 15 minutes. The juices will thicken up a bit as it cools.
- Serve the cobbler warm with vanilla ice cream.
- Feel free to swap some of the blackberries for another berry. I’ve made this recipe with a combination of blackberries, blueberries, and raspberries and it was delicious. Make sure you have a total of about 6 cups of berries.
- Leftovers can be tightly covered and refrigerated for up to 2 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave.
FAQs
If you prefer your cobbler heavier on the the topping I’ve included a slightly larger topping recipe in the recipe notes. Preparation and bake time will be about the same.
I think it is best to serve this dessert within an hour or two of being baked. You can refrigerate the leftovers and reheat individual portions in the microwave.
I don’t recommend it, fresh berries are best for this recipe.

Instructions
Filling:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease an 8×8 baking pan.
In a large bowl, gently stir together all filling ingredients. Transfer to the prepared pan.
Topping (see note):
In a medium bowl, combine sugar, flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the vanilla extract and melted butter and stir until fully combined. The mixture will resemble a cross between a crumb topping and a sugar cookie dough.
Press pieces of the topping together with your fingers to form flat irregular shaped pieces. Place the pieces of topping all over the top of the blackberries. Bake for 30-35 minutes, until the berries are bubbling and the topping is beginning to turn light golden brown. Place the pan on a wire rack to cool for about 15 minutes; the juices will thicken up a bit as it cools. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
