A quick and easy blackberry cobbler with a tender, buttery topping and juicy, sweet-tart blackberry filling. Perfect for summer gatherings and simple family desserts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups fresh blackberries (about 600g / 21 oz) – ripe and juicy
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar (150g / 5.3 oz) – adjust slightly if your berries are very sweet or tart
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (120g / 4.2 oz)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (100g / 3.5 oz)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed (85g / 3 oz)
  • 1/3 cup whole milk (80ml / 2.7 fl oz)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, gently toss the blackberries with sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and cinnamon. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or two forks to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized bits of butter visible.
  5. Pour in the milk and vanilla extract. Stir gently with a fork until just combined; the batter will be thick and a little lumpy.
  6. Pour the blackberry filling into a 9×9-inch baking dish, spreading evenly.
  7. Dollop the topping over the berries in spoonfuls, covering most of the fruit but leaving some blackberry peeking through.
  8. Bake for 40-45 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. If the topping browns too quickly, tent loosely with foil for the last 10 minutes.
  9. Let the cobbler cool for about 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

Keep butter cold for a tender, flaky topping. Do not overmix the batter once milk is added to avoid tough topping. If blackberries are extra juicy, add 1 tablespoon more cornstarch to prevent runny filling. Tent with foil if topping browns too fast. Let cobbler cool before serving to set filling. Can substitute coconut sugar or almond flour for variations.
