Why You’ll Love This Recipe:
This recipe is incredibly easy to make, requiring just a few simple ingredients and steps. The combination of juicy blackberries, buttery crust, and sweet sugar creates a mouthwatering dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The cobbler bakes to perfection in a cast iron skillet, adding a rustic charm to the presentation.
Ingredients:
- 1 box of 2 refrigerated pie crusts (I prefer Pillsbury)
- 2 (14-16 oz) bags frozen blackberries
- 1 stick butter, melted
- 1â…“ cups sugar (for berries)
- ½ cup flour
- Âľ cup sugar (for crust)
- ½ stick butter, cut into small cubes
- ½ cup water
Directions:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees.
- Unroll one pie crust and place it in the bottom and up the sides of a 12” cast iron skillet.
- Pierce the bottom and sides of the crust with a fork.
- Bake for 7 minutes, then remove from the oven.
- Increase the oven temperature to 400 degrees.
- In a large bowl, mix melted butter, 1â…“ cups sugar, and flour.
- Add the blackberries to the bowl with the butter/sugar/flour mixture; toss until the berries are covered and the mixture is crumbly.
- Gently pour the berry mixture into the skillet and sprinkle water over the berries.
- Unroll the second pie crust over the top of the berries, sealing it at the edges of the skillet.
- Scatter the small pieces of butter on top of the crust.
- Sprinkle Âľ cups sugar on top of the crust.
- Cut tiny slits in the top of the pie crust.
- Bake for approximately 45 minutes or until bubbly at the edges and beginning to brown on top.
- (I highly recommend using a pie shield to prevent the edges of the crust from burning.)
Storage:
Store any leftover cobbler in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply place it in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 10-15 minutes or until warmed through.
Recipe Tips:
- Feel free to add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream on top of each serving for an extra indulgent treat.
- You can also try using fresh blackberries when they are in season for a slightly different flavor profile.
- Experiment with different types of berries or a combination of berries to create your own unique cobbler variation.
